I cannot put into words the overwhelming feeling of surprise, gratitude and thankfulness for the phone call I got this morning. I had to work night shift last night, so I could not attend the Scone art prize opening event, which is normally one of my favourite events of the year. But I received the most amazing phone call this morning that put me to tears. My artwork 'Limitless' has WON the Potter Macqueen Prize!  I cannot say thank you enough!  I am going to cherish this day forever!   

Wow, it has been a very exciting time trying to get everything fixed up for the art gallery. I absolutely love the rustic feel of the space, and I think it will suit showcasing my art, as well as another local artist's sculptures really well. There was a lot of cleaning and painting the last 2 months, and now we are starting to layout the space, and hang some artworks! I am aiming to have the opening on the weekend of 13 September 2025, this will be exactly 1 year after leaving my career of 23 years in the horse industry to become a full time artist. So I am pushing hard to make everything/ ordering prints and getting all the hand made goods labelled and sorted. I really hope that people will pop in and have a look!  Hopefully some lovely lunch specials at the Royal Hotel to go with the opening 🤔 😀  I will definitely put together a proper information post closer to the time.  Everything is starting to come together ❤️  thank you for all the support!  The countdown has officially begun!
