Hi Megan
Just want to say thank you once again for organising the afternoon tea meet the artist session at Hand Held for our show Axioms/Idioms. It was a valuable opportunity for to get some feedback on my work which isn't always doable during openings! Very much appreciated along with all your other fantastic support during the show! Thank you.

Hi Megan, so glad you liked it :)

Lucky for me, I have access to a very excellent printer, so I'll get 10 printed off for you as soon as I can and send them your way. Will printing out a copy of the Portfolio be enough as a bio or do you want me to write one up? Bit new to marketing myself, so I'm learning as I go.

Thankyou so much.

Just wanted to introduce myself. I have an artist book gallery in Northern NSW that has been in operation for 16 months now and is going well. I will be coming down to Melbourne in mid october so will drop in and say hello but i just wanted to wish you all the best with your venture. I hope you still find some time to do your own work!
