The Graduation Exhibition

I can’t believe it’s already been almost two weeks ago that I waved England goodbye. We’ve had such a successful show at the Candid Artis Trust gallery. 75 Exhibitors this year! I felt so proud of my classmates. All the work just came together so well in this gorgeous gallery.

After a nervous week, on Saturday I could finally switch into party mode at ‘friends and family day’. Family and best friends all flew over from the Netherlands (isn’t that amazing?!) to check out my work and celebrate with me. It felt great to be standing there with my baby in my arms and to think back to what an important year it has been.

Below some pictures of the show. I was so overwhelmed that I only shot some fast pictures with my phone, so apologies for any bad quality.

Special thanks go to Zaou Vaughan for providing me with the most gorgeous needle felted puppets to show of the main characters from my picture book ‘Looking for Tom‘.

Part of our show has been moved to the Ruskin Gallery, where you can still visit our work until the 4th of March.

Exhibition Carll Cneut

Illustrator Carll Cneut won the Boekenpauw audience award this weekend!
Congratulations, Carll!

His book ‘De Gouden Kooi’ – the golden cage – is my favourite illustrated book at the moment. His use of colour and texture as well as his compositions (so basically everything about his drawings) are a-mazing.  I had the honour of seeing the original artwork up close, visiting the exhibition ‘In my Head’ in Gent together with a group of talented illustrator friends.

If you haven’t been, please do so! You’ll not only get to see many many wonderful works of his, but also get to know the story about the man behind the books. If you’re lucky he will be signing books too (mostly in the weekends)!

One hundred and fifty kilometers out and one hundred and fifty kilometers back (including Dutch public transport…) to visit a colleague’s exhibition and it was well worth it. Usually I really dislike Sundays, but Marloes made it a fun one.

 

In between giggles we took a moment of silence to enjoy the sincerity and delicate nature of her art.
It was really special to get such a different perspective on a fellow artist (Marloes says this is the most personal work she has ever made).

 

You can check out her artwork at the CBK Emmen until the 21st of April.
If you can’t make it there, be sure to check out her daily doodles at http://marloesdevries.tumblr.com/.
