Some feedback from the Head Art Advisor at Artboxy, Linda, that I received in December 2024.
This month your artwork "It's Going To Be A Good Day' was featured at Nicoleta Gallery. It was truly uplifting to see your work displayed in such a significant space! The vibrant explosion of colours encapsulated the essence of summer and radiated positivity, prompting visitors to feel warmth and joy. The way you masterfully blended the hues creates an inviting atmosphere that undoubtedly resonates with anyone who views it.
Your piece "Cut Through All The Crazy" showcased at Casa del Arte, struck a powerful chord with attendees. The emotional layering and depth reflect your personal journey in a compelling way. Viewers appreciated the intensity of the colours and the expressive brushwork that seems to narrate your experiences, offering insight into overcoming challenges. It's clear that your art acts as both a therapeutic outlet and a source of inspiration.
Similarly, "Breakthrough" also exhibited at Casa del Arte, captivated everyone with it's dynamic use of mixed media. The vibrant array of acrylic spray paints creates a stunning interplay of textures and colours, conjuring feelings of both struggle and hope. You've beautifully captured the essence of resilience, and the narrative behind this piece adds profound depth that encourages meaningful reflections among viewers.
Your artworks truly captivate with their unique expressions and compelling presence, drawing people in through remarkable energy. Through your journey, you craft powerful stories that connect emotionally with your audience, showcasing exceptional talent and sensitivity.
What passed collectors and clients had to say ....
(a handful of reviews pre website update)
"I really enjoyed reading about what your painting has meant to you. Making artwork and playing music has a very special role to play in life - especially in less straightforward times. I love the colours you have used in this painting and 'patient' is something I need to be reminded of and to try to put in to practice. Your picture will help remind me of the good things in life and to be relaxed and content in the here and now."

"My wife and I were in the Cake Shed and were very taken with your picture ‘A Little Bit Chintzy' - both the style and the bright red colour, which would be perfect for a space on our kitchen wall. However we are looking for something taller - a vertical rectangle rather than a square - more specifically around 450mm tall by 250mm wide.
Could you paint us something to that specification as a commission?"

"Thank you Annette, the painting is gorgeous and looks really super in the dark oak box frame.
We love the fluidity of the paintwork and it's subtle colours blending into one another. Plus the fact that on a sunny day the sun picks out the rose gold and makes it shine."

This is the second piece of Annette's artwork that I have purchased and I am extremely happy with how it brings the room together. I get a lot of compliments from my friends.

There was something about this painting that kept drawing me back, I just had to buy it. After hearing the story behind the piece it is even more meaningful and poignant. Love the colours.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions.
1. Can I commission artwork?
If you're interested in commissioning an original abstract on canvas, you've come to the right place. The process is simple. First we will discuss the size and colour palette that you're interested in. If you aren't sure what size or colour palette will work for your space, I am happy to make suggestions and create a mock up based on photos of your space. Once we agree on the size and colours, I will create your original abstract painting. When your modern artwork is complete I will send you photos and a video for your approval. I am more than happy to make adjustments to your artwork to make sure you're happy with it.
