Thanks for your comments on my work. I really enjoyed looking at the forms you've made with beads and with paper. At the moment, I am working on some large forms of paper and wire, playing with the staining that patination can make. I'll put some photos up if they turn out well! - Amber

For the next 13 months we'll discuss the trials, triumphs, and tribulations of exhibiting in art shows as emerging artists and established artists. Exhibition coverage will be balanced with tips on how to strategically build a legacy over a length of time, in a way that makes sense to your individual goals as an artist and maker.
