Happy New Year everyone! Hope your Christmas was full of happy times.

My art exhibition in December went really well with 14 paintings sold. I sold out of my art tea towels in the first week so will be reordering in mid January/ Ill keep you posted

Well what a start to my year. I'm very excited to have won First Prize in the Inaugaral Bonny Hills Art Prize for my painting "When Clay Meets Sand."The paintings were judged by the art curator of the Hastings Regional Art Gallery Bridget Purtill. It was extra special because my mum was able to attend and she has never had the chance to see me awarded an art prize. Some tears were shed.
