It's been a crazy and chaotic 12 months. 2010 saw the beginnings of new commercial ventures as I offered my artwork for sale for the first time. It was a year that also marked my very first exhibition. In another line of firsts, I produced Iznik-inspired ceramic tiles, hand-painted miniature vases, and hand-painted custom designed greeting cards. On the personal front I embarked on another first, somewhat more significant and auspicious, as I bid farewell to Miss J and became instead Mrs S. In short, it's been a year of many new journeys and experiences, paving the way for greater blossoming and growth in the coming 12 months.
