Group exhibition
The show Life in Colour took place at Nicolls in the west end of Glasgow UK in May 2024, and I showed my work alongside Pascale Steenkiste and Elisabeth Grant. Check out their work - it is gorgeous. We all have different styles but love colour - hence the title of the exhibition. We ran the exhibition as a pop-up event over 3 days. We had an opening event on the Friday evening and then opened from 10-4 over the weekend. These are my thoughts about the exhibition:
First solo exhibition
It was amazing and deeply satisfying to set up my own show. I had a sequence of 23 paintings that followed willow herb through 3 seasons. It was almost an installation. I appreciated the body of work being shown together like that.
How do I grow my event organising skills?
The main things an art show of paintings needs is some paintings, a venue and an audience. This month I am going to talk about the behind the scenes non-painting aspects of getting ready for the show.
Should I go professional?
Am I an artist only for my own enjoyment or can it also be a business…?
