Standing next to my kitzch painting, Miss How Can I Help You?#1
Last week I attended the opening night for the Waterside Open Exhibition. I was blown away by the high standard of work and the sheer variety that appears in the galleries situated at the Waterside Arts Centre.
Walking in on the night filled me with different emotions. Firstly I was surprised by how busy the event was; the place was packed with artists and art lovers and the amount of work fills not only the main gallery but spills out into the foyer and through to a smaller gallery near the entrance.
It was eye opening to see my own work displayed next to other pieces that had no connection to it. I think I can't have been the only artist taking part who realised that they're not the only one hidden in a studio busily working away!
People can still vote for my work in the Visitors Choice Award. So if you are planning a gander, my work is situated in the gallery off to the right of the entrance!
