Wow! Who would have thought I’d be taking part in 3 group exhibitions this autumn…

• 15. – 17. November: Nordberg Lions, Oslo

• 23. November – 11. January: Fault Line: Gaza 355 at Oriel Q Gallery in Narberth Wales

• 21. September – 10. October: PAE24 at Millhouse Mackinney in Texas USA 

Normally I turn down most requests to exhibit my work, but: Sometimes it is nice to say: YES!!!

Life is a mystery… sometimes one is lucky and sometimes one is really, really unlucky…

So sad

I had the saddest start of this month as my Best Friend Forever, My Heart and My Everything, Mr Muskat suddenly left us 💔 

My grief is overwhelming and whirls up so many emotions…

Deep Love also means deep sorrow. But life goes on without Mr Art Cat 😭 RiP 💔

Going back to the studio alone

As I have signed up for a couple of group exhibitions, I had to pull myself out of my rabbit hole of grief and go back to my studio and start working. 

Challenge 1: Working small

Working small is one of my biggest challenges, but I think my entries for the Fault Line: Gaza 355 exhibit came together pretty nicely and were shipped to Wales for the group exhibition at Oriel Q Gallery, in Narberth in memory of Hind and the thousands of children killed in Gaza and for those still living there ❤️

Fault Line: Gaza 355 is curated by Tasmin Nash. Exhibition runs from Saturday 23 November 2024 – Saturday 11 January 2025.

We are based at The Studio, 11 Market Street, Narberth, SA67 7AX

Here you can see my 9 small works:

Challenge 2: Square paintings

Don’t know why, but I love a challenge. Since September I’ve been working on four new paintings for a local group exhibition. The 4 square canvases measure 60×60 cm and are all part of ongoing parallel projects, but will be on display (and might even get sold) at the Lions Nordberg exhibition in Oslo 17.-19. November.

I find it really challenging working on square canvases, but they seem to be finding their way…

Will probably adjust some colors and add some more details before the finishing touches. Wish me luck!
