So it is the eve of the release of ‘The Stories We Tell’ exhibition which is the biggest release of my works to date. I appear to be having an inner meltdown. Questioning who the heck am I? There are incredible artists well beyond my ability (so, so many). Imposter syndrome has set in and I am in freeze mode. Mind uncertain. Can I deliver? Can I achieve the point that is aimed for in this one?
I really don’t know.
I know that this is the inner landscape of many an artists thoughts and emotions. Really I am still just beginning, finding my creative voice. Not even ‘my’ way or voice but connecting with the intrinsic energy that seems to flow through this entity that I call ‘me’. I’ve read many a story of this inner dance but for the first time feeling it raw in my gut. I feel I’m teetering on the edge.
I’m not sure if I can pull it off in the way that I hope to but if I don’t try I won’t learn or grow so I just have to take the leap. Let’s see…..
You’re welcome! You deserve it 🙂
Well thank you for such kindness 🙏
Hi! I looked through your exhibition using the link you provided. I just wanted to say that, as a fellow artist, I feel proud that you’ve made something so beautiful and relevant to the times. I absolutely love that it is based on people and their struggles. I love that you focused on individuals. Everything about this project is eloquent and amazing, just brilliant.
Absolutely wonderful job!

P.S., I wasn’t able to find the contact form on the website, so I just commented here. I hope that’s okay?
That’s ok I’m in the process of making a new one today a couple of pages I’ve taken into draft for the exhibition this evening. Apologies and yes I’m deeply grateful for your comment 🙏
Okie that’s fine 🙂
It’s live now. Still trying to get the contact form to work 🙄 it will get there eventually. ✨
Alright!
Thank you very much. This was my lockdown series I hope to begin the process of looking at a year on. I’m so very grateful for your words. I have a new exhibition this evening which is different. I’m just preparing it at the moment. I will promote the link (in draft at the moment) at 7pm. I’m nervous about it as it’s quite different. I’m so grateful for your feedback, I’m trying to keep all of the artwork inclusive and focused on our humanity. The Lockdown series has been a big one too and as I say a year on should be in the making soon. Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome! The pieces were so beautiful, you’ve got some real skill. I’ll make sure to look through your new exhibition.
Hey, don’t be nervous about it. You are traversing new waters with your art, and it’s absolutely unique. As long as it appeals to you and focuses on your best ideas, I’m sure it will be excellent :).
That is so kind and helpful thank you. I will try 🙏
