Hi Luana! Thanks for reaching out. Your work is really wonderful and I am glad you were able to see the show at Velvet da Vinci. It's great to reconnect with a fellow CCAC alum!

Hi Luana!

I don’t think we meet this summer, I was a way almost the whole summer.
I pleased that you like Gothenburg. I hope IF you return that you contact me, so I can show you things that you may be missed… I also like HDK, even if it’s around 7 years since I went there, but they have open speech that I use to join.

Keep up the good work and enjoy life!

With love and thoughts, Paula, from a snowy Gothenburg.

Yeah, that was a good surprise. Hey I wanted to ask you if I melted down some old gold necklaces of different K's would it still look nice? My aunt wants me to make her something new out of her old pieces. xoxo Hope you're well

"It is a good article. It's a bit disappointing that the 3 artists they interview are men when it was so obvious that 90% of the Trunk Show exhibitors were women. I'd like to do a blog or two on the influence of women in the arts and how it…"

"Hi Rebecca. I have had probably a 50% success rate entering juried exhibitions, which I think is actually pretty good. I don't do shows where you go and peddle your wares from a booth. The exhibitions I've been in are held in art museums…"
