Where do I even begin to describe the feeling of holding my debut solo exhibition? Having a solo exhibition is no small task and this one was 18 months in the making. Creating the artwork was almost the easy part. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There were many sleepless nights and long days searching for the perfect venue as these were the largest pieces I had ever created and they needed a large space to compliment them. After looking around various venues including National Trust houses, I eventually decided on the amazing Worcester Cathedral. This was the perfect location for size and the gorgeous brick work made my artwork stand out beautifully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition itself was a fantastic few days with over 1000 visitors! With the help of family members, we transformed the three rooms I had hired into a garden themed wonderland with real trees, a wishing tree, garden benches, a swing and beanbags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside each piece in the series, I had created a series of short films which played on a loop for visitors to watch. There was also a colouring table filled with Derwent pencils for children and adults to have a go at colouring their own petals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The moment I began drawing the Confetti series, I knew that I wanted the exhibition to stand out from \u2018standard\u2019 art exhibitions so decorating the space and making the whole event an experience was something very important to me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
