How do artists really make money?
Find out at my new exhibition this summer
For Love or Money?
An honest look at how artists like me make a living.
As you know, I’m a creative, and part of how I earn a living is by teaching workshops. I’m fortunate to be part of a wonderful artist community called The Arienas Collective, and together we’re putting on our very first group exhibition.
It’s called For Love or Money? and it’s all about how artists make a living from their creativity.
Because while passion drives what we do, love alone doesn’t pay the bills. Whether it’s selling artwork, running workshops, doing commissions, or other creative side gigs, this exhibition shares the many ways we, as individual artists and creatives, keep doing what we love - while also keeping the lights on.
You’re invited to the preview night!
Come celebrate with us, see the show before anyone else, and meet the artists including me!

Coming along to the preview? PLEASE HIT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL with your full name and I will add you to the guest list. If you'd like to bring people (I'd love that) do add their name to your reply too. This helps us ensure we've ordered enough wine so do RSVP!
We’ll also be running a series of talks, demos, and workshops during the exhibition, so keep an eye on your inbox—I’ll be sharing more details soon.
Thanks as always for your support, and I’d love to see you there!
