Face Up: The Face of Extinction

I did it!!!

I finally did it! Over 10 years ago I did a painting of a tiger which sparked the idea to do an exhibition of endangered animals and raise money for conservation and now it's finally here! After 6 years of painting and another 4 years trying to find somewhere to show it Face Up is finally on display and it looks amazing!

I had an opening event on Saturday which was very exciting - a huge thank you to everyone that came! I know it sounds stupid but seeing the paintings on a wall makes them look like real paintings! A huge shout out and thank you to Adam from Ty Pawb who curated them for me and made the whole thing look so professional and amazing. I learned a lot from him about where to put things and why and I'm so grateful for his expertise. 

Face Up has the pleasure to be the first exhibition in the newly named Oriel Bach space at Ty Pawb in Wrexham. A few weeks ago it was just a little grey room being used for storage and now with a little greenery and some good lighting it is a fabulous little gallery! Another big shout out and thank you to Peter the manager at Ty Pawb for his help and enthusiasm. After so many years of struggling to find a good space it was so nice to finally find someone who was excited to help me and put up with my many many questions! I hope too that people will now see the potential of Oriel Bach and use it for more exhibitions and things.

Of course the biggest thank you to my family who helped me pull it off and are always by biggest supporters and best customers! Especially my ever supportive boyfriend who is the only person to have seen these paintings before now and has been nagging me for years to get this show out there - well I finally have!

And I've already got plans for my next one!

Make sure to go and see it if you're in Wrexham 28th June - 12th July.
