MESMERISE, 5 - 7 JUNE 2026
I don’t know about you but I NEVER feel ready to put on an exhibition!
Is it a question of WORTH? I’m not sure but I always feel that there is a pull and push involved. Yes I want to show my work, but wait, I need more time, always need more time.
I’ve just made an application to exhibit at a gallery and all those same old issues come banging on my mind castle door! “Is my work complete, is it good enough, but wait I can do better, people will judge me and find I’m a fraud!”
Good God!
I usually submit and take the plunge, then after the event is done and the post show blues set in I vow never to do it again, that it’s not worth the stress, the money, the work. Then a few days later I’m looking for another opportunity to show my work and it all begins again.
I’ll be showcasing some of my students paintings as well in this one, it’s a huge and beautiful gallery space. Details to come.
