As our days grow longer and warmer, things are getting calmer after my travels and participation in the National Arts Festival. I'm settling back into 'normality' again, making new artworks and getting involved in exciting new projects and initiatives, such as the Walk This Earth Alone exhibition at the Gallery @ Grande Provence, and the Little Green Gathering happening at Deer Park Cafe in August.

Thank you to all my friends, family and everyone else who constantly gives me support and encouragement - I wouldn't be the artist and person I am now without you!

I hope to see you soon at an exhibition, workshop or other occasion!

Creative & green greetings
Janet
