Dear Louise, I'm so happy that your exhibition was such a success for you. Congratulations! Your paintings of the corvids are beautiful. You did a great job in capturing their personality, I think! I would have loved to see your exhibition live. If I only lived a bit closer to Sweden 😅 In that regard: thank you for staying with us in the online bubble and keep sharing your art here as well!

Your email sit in my inbox for some time now and finally I had some time to dedicate to reading it carefully. First of all - congratulations for the exhibition, it is a huge achievement indeed. And as usual thank you for talking about it. I would love to have an exhibition one day, but it really is very confusing in the beginning. No idea of how to find a place, how to pace oneself, how to market it, how to approach. These knowledges really seem to be very "secret" indeed. I also would love to explore possibilities of art residencies, to have all the time to just work on my art solely.

Thank you for this substack, it was a joy to read!

Thank you so much. 🙏🏻 But yeah, you're totally right. Now it feels like I'm back to square one again, struggling to find opportunities, feeling clueless. Glad to not be alone in the confusion. Seems sometimes that all other artists just magically know what to do. 😆

Congratulations! Bird is a challenging subject to capture. It's truly fascinating to see your work exhibited in real, physical space. Thank you for highlighting that art is not only online "content" but creation to be experienced, couldn't agree more.
