Last post: I have been painting studio space for the last couple of days in preparation to hang my paintings for degree show. There is definitly a feeling in the studios of excitement and camaraderie between students. Work is being completed and there is an air of apprehension about the final weeks… culminating in our degree show. Invitations are printed. We have business cards at the ready and catologue is at the printers ready for publication. Looking at my own work in a pure white space allows me to see my work more objectively. My work isnt ‘cutting edge’… and that has always concerned me, but what it is… is honest. My work is about feelings, expressiveness and a love of paint.Feeling nervous and excited about the next few weeks. Three years has gone so fast! Ive had the most rewarding experience at UCS, with great support from students and tutors alike. Ultimately I have learnt so much about art, applying myself academically and pushing myself through self-doubt. My collaboration in the 2nd year was a confidence booster and my struggle to get to grips with oil paint in the 3rd year (encouraged by Robin) was a satisfying accomplishment. Life after university…?? Keep on painting and learning…
