On thursday 22nd March I will be having a small private showing of some new work at a lovely villa just off the Viale Michaelangelo. The town villa is owned by a dutch couple, Simone and Ben de Looze. Simone is also an interior designer and will be selling large decorative objects that she has collected from around the world. Their home space is perfect to show my work as it is a wonderful open plan space and decorated in a fresh and modern way with lots of interesting colours. The other person showing is called Brenda Schoenfeld and she is a mexican jewellery designer who also designs interesting tablewares. I will be showing a collection of 10 collaged 'madonna and baby' images and a series of abstract landscapes and enamel marbled 'splat' paintings. All the work is influenced from living here in FLorence but not obviously tuscan. At the same time I am also attending a workshop on painting realistic portraits and I have just completed my first oil portrait which is something I have dreamt about for many years but never quite had the experience or opportunity to do so. All in all this keeps me pretty busy so my apologies for the delay in hooking up with the family website. I will publish the artist 'blurb' when I have finished editing it - the show is hung on monday so I will probably wait until then to finally print it out.
