New Works: Portfolio - Painting (2)

Creating my own Exhibition (1): Background and Starting Point

Introduction

Over the previous eighteen months I have been developing my practice with a view to producing an exhibition of my work in August this year.

I  built up my knowledge and skills in preparation for creating a successful exhibition in four key areas:

- continuing to compete and exhibit in local and regional galleries as part of large-scale exhibitions

- visiting regional and national exhibitions and galleries

- interviewing practising visual artists and curators

- holding an exhibition/small show of my works at Hull College (May, 2019) and at a Symposium (January, 2020)

This was the starting point for my early ideas, discussions and visits in preparation for the Exhibition.
