The other day I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to do my first ever commission. I thought this day would never come, as quite often you don't feel good enough to suddenly be paid for something that is your own work. So many years have been taken over by my art practice, but only now I finally feel comfortable to say I have developed my own style of work, and it has never felt better.
This amazing opportunity, all started when my teacher told me that my work was recognised by the university in a current exhibition. There was that one person who loved my work so much, that she wants to commission me to make a bigger and more impressive piece to display in a newly built area of the univeristy. My initial reaction to this was an utter state of shock. It is crazy to think how your own work is suddenly worthy enough to be shown to the public on a long term basis. I now have 1 month to sort this commission out and I have never felt so excited about this deadline. Lets hope there is more to come in the future :)
