PASTEL & COLOURED PENCIL SHOW

"When I was working on the "I Am Ruin" set I was creating them with the hopes of the Golden Trio Award. I thought the Abstract show was my best chance at putting three together that really complimented each other and would display well as a group. I knew it was a slim chance but I was over the moon when I got the notice today! Thank you very much! Your shows continue to inspire me to keep at it, even when facing all the obstacles life seems to keep throwing in my way. Your hard work in bringing these shows to life is greatly appreciated. I can't thank you enough!" -- LANCE BUKOVE

I don’t think you realise how much the comments meant to me – when I drew that bull that was exactly what struck me – this gorgeous animal and the raw contrast of the rope through his nose. I had tears in my eyes because the comments made me feel like I achieved conveying exactly that feeling – it meant the world to me!"
