Everything is sorted for my “Warrior” exhibition. I ended up with seven pieces which fit very nicely in the Neilson Hays Garden Gallery. Anymore and I think I would have had to have surgery! The detail on the work actually caused me physical pain; in my hand, my neck and my back!

The opening reception is the day after tomorrow. Excited and nervous. I don’t have any idea, what-so-ever, how this collection is going to be perceived. Its daunting to say the least.

Personally, I have to admit I’m quite proud of them. They are unique and took a lot of sweat and patience to produce. I think I tested myself for this show, and hopefully it will be apparent in the work. Its a subject matter that defines me and I really care about it, which makes the anticipation even worse!

Here’s a sneak peak at one of the images that I have not yet released:
