Welcome art lovers and fellow artists! This is my first blog entry on the newly launched ArtySpot website and I launch it with wonderful news.
I do feel a bit awkward putting myself out there with my art as I have been painting away for years without really showing it off to the public at large, just my friends and family. They have been very supportive and my biggest fans!
I decided to take the plunge and create this website as well as launch social media channels just recently as well as submit some of my favourite art works to some local competitions.
I got rejected plenty but today I got a great email from the organsiers at the Visual Arts in the Valley to inform me that one of my art works Pinky Ate My Sunflowers is a finalist!
So really excited! Here is some information about the competition:
"The biennial Visual Arts in the Valley 2022 (NSW Australia) will be celebrated over the October long-weekend – Friday 30 September through Monday 3 October in Kangaroo Valley, NSW. It will feature multiple visual art prizes and special events over four days at a variety of venues in the Valley."
"Pinky" can be seen on the website here. Wish me luck and good luck to all the other finalists too! I hope to get down to Kangaroo Valley when the exhibition is on so will post ongoingly (is that a word?).
