I know, I know, I said I would keep more up to date with my blog but I've had a degree to work for!!! Some big news though is that as of Wednesday 15th May at 4pm, I AM NOW OFFICIALLY FINISHED!!! I can't believe it. I moved to Nottingham to specifically attend Nottingham Trent Uni to do Fine Art. When I first applied, they turned me down flat, with other universities saying that I should do a Foundation first. So in 2009 I started at South Nottingham College based in Clifton. I think the only reason they accepted me was due to my maturity and enthusiasm.....I only did pencil drawings and shitty paintings....I had no clue!!! If it wasn't for my year at college, I would have died a death and not be where I am today. I learnt so so much.
Doing Fine Art has been awesome. I'm sad to be leaving. Being able to see so many people in the studios creating art and having discussions was great. But all good things come to an end and I'm now on my own...
I'll still be entering exhibitions around Nottingham and hopefully the wider area. Speaking of exhibitions, I've been in 2 since I last posted!!! Now I have a bit more time on my hands, I can try and update this blog the way it should be......when I'm not working or decorating!!
Today and tomorrow is the Lady Bay Arts Festival which starts at 12pm. I'm looking forward to it, I just hope it gets a bit warmer! I really should wrap things up here as I need to get prepared for it, I've got loads to do!! I'll be at venue 2 (I believe!) on Holme Road. It's weird going back to Lady Bay considering I lived there for 2 1/2 years!
Finally, the official Nottingham Trent Degree Show kicks off on 31st May 2013, a chance to see everyone's hard effort on display. I've never seen so much panic, stress and chaos in the lead up to anything!!!
OK, that's it for now, until next time (hopefully sooner rather than later!), stay classy.....blog world!!
