During the time of transition from one side of the world to the other, from island to city life, from wife to widow, from full-time work to (semi-)retirement, I managed to create a wonderful circle of choice family members and friends in my new Spanish home town and nearby. To all these amazing people I owe my sanity.
Nearly two years had to pass before I was able to start creating again. I have adjusted to my much smaller workroom (above) and won new artist friends.
These encouraged me to join an art group in a neighbouring town, the Matadepera Col•lectiu d’Art, and participate in their art exhibition. All participants had to use a frame sponsored by the city council of Matadepera and newspaper in our works (left).
I’ve always wanted to work with text. This was a much welcome challenge. It finally broke my artist block.
Tomorrow will be the inauguration of our exhibition. I’m so excited! I will keep you posted…

Dear Andrea,
So happy that you have found such a supportive group of friends and artists and are creating again. So many changes in your life over these past years….I can certainly understand the need to take the two years to adjust and to take all of those changes in.
I look forward to your next post.
Much love to you Andrea,
Dawn
