Farewell 2019

Before jumping into all that 2020 has to offer, I feel it only right to take time to reflect on the year that has just been. Some wonderful things, some major challenges and some dreams come true. Thank you for inspiring me, encouraging me and walking with me on this journey.

New Artwork

I created 35 pieces of art this year. 7 painted live at a variety of events.

Painting to live music before an audience of 3500!

At the start of 2019 one of the big dreams I wrote down for the year ahead was to have my art in the window of a gallery for the first time. It actually happened 3 times!!

Teaching

Believe it or not (considering I trained as a teacher 25 years ago) this was my first year to run paid art workshops.

Some were local, one was for nearly 150 people in one go and some were taught internationally via the internet!
I was also booked as guest tutor for classes in a gallery in Colchester for 2020 which were sold out before I was able to advertise them, which was rather exciting!

Please message me, if you would like me to add your name to my workshop waiting list for future dates.

New Website

2019 saw the launch of my 2nd website www.KateGreenARTandSOUL.com (and social media platform @KateGreenARTandSOUL), thus enabling me to separate my arts ministry within the church from my professional art business, as these audiences aren’t necessarily looking for the same things.

New Studio

I also had a complete studio redesign, making the space in my garden shed much more suitable for my changing needs as an artist. See my blog here for more details.

Masters Degree

And last be not least, I finished this year starting a Masters Degree in Fine Art. Learning new techniques within printmaking. I’m doing this over 2 years and write a monthly blog update which you can see here.

So… what does 2020 hold? I have a number of dreams and ambitions for the year ahead, but mainly plan to put one foot in front of the other and give it my best shot.

How about you?
