It was indeed a strange year, fantastic at the same time, but also with many challenges and emotions.
Events in the world did not always make us feel good emotionally.
This is a difficult time for many people. We have no influence on many events, but we can always be a helping hand for others.
I personally would like to thank with all my heart to all those who have shown me support in keeping my work alive.
It's wonderful to feel that we can support each other locally,
THANK YOU FOR THIS YEAR to each of my clients, friends, acquaintances and people cooperating with me!
Thanks to you, I was able to support others.
And now it's time to sum up my activities!
As an artist and creator, I have to say that I made a lot of decisions this year.
Changing the location of my Gallery from Castlecomer to Carliow town - my town where I have been living for 16 years.
I was warmly welcomed here and received a lot of support, but it was not an easy decision and my heart was litle broken.
I had a few of amazing art workshops with wonderful groups of women, where we really built new relationships and confidence.
Thank you for this time!
There were many challenges this year, but you already know me and you know that sometimes this little girl wakes up in me, a little scared, who has to escape into the shadows for a moment.
Unfortunately, in adult life, things from childhood often come back unworked. Sometimes it serves us, but more often it keeps us frozen.
Then it is worth having support and motivation for the next action.
I guess that's why I will keep bright colors,
warmth and hope to always be happy in my artistic work.
As you know, I always put my family and their health first. I am extremely happy that my whole family is doing well now.
I trust with all my heart that you too can be grateful for it and hug your loved ones.
This year I could also watch my granddaughter finish her first year of life, spend time with her and see the love in her eyes.
I think every grandma knows what I'm talking about.
Maybe this year I created less new works, although I tried to keep the brush and hand in motion almost every day.
But as they say, you also need time to fill the artistic well with spirituality.
For me it was a very intense year of meetings, events and making new friends.
I got to know myself a bit :)
So it's December time.
More than half of the month will soon be time to feast together with family and loved ones. Regardless of what faith and traditions you have at home,
I wish you and your loved ones wonderful moments together in health and joy and gratitude for life.
In the Gallery this year, Santa's idea appeared when my fifteen-year-old son put on the costume. It was funny because I remember when the grown-ups used to dress up for him. It's a great feeling to fool around on the other side.
If we don't meet again this year, I hug you and send you lots of love and good thoughts.
I wish you a Happy New Year 2023
Full of good days and positive events.
My Gallery and I will always greet you with warmth and a storm of color and joy.
I will just remind you that I am also here for you
and you can always write or call me if you feel like it.
