Things have gotten off to a positive start. Feeling like I’m a part of something has given me the motivation I need to get started and I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the results. Not just the painting itself, but how the process has made me feel. I am inspired, and reconnected to my source.
My first painting came naturally. I am full of ideas for more. I’ve decided to carry on and make a series of the faceless creator idea. It will give me an opportunity to develop those techniques. I’ve already sketched out the next in the series. I’m looking to get some prints made to sell. I want to get them printed myself, package and sell them to buyers myself. There are companies that can handle this for you, but I want to give a personal touch to anything sold, to be confident in the quality and buyer experience.
I’ve received positive feedback, which has strengthened my resolve and I’m really excited for what the future holds. I’ve set up a subscribe button on my page for anyone wanting to buy art, and once I have work to sell I will notify my audience. If you’re interested, you can sign up at the bottom of the homepage.
I’m thinking about how to incorporate everything art into daily life with my son. I’m planning trips to galleries, painting sessions, a tour of the Look Up festival artwork which is featured and various walls around the city. I’m daring to dream that the future holds a wall for me.
The residency started on the 21st June 24 and runs for a full year. There’s so much I can do with this time, and I’m a very happy lady. This project is helping me transform the grief I feel for my losing my mother into something beautiful, and that has shown me a path out of this terrible feeling. I am very grateful for this.
