An Interesting Month
2011Article posted by Gilly
In connection with my doing an artist-in-residence session at La Salle College Exhibition, I was to be featured in a small article for one of the local community newspapers. So when the photographer arrived I expected a quick photo shoot and that would be it. However, he totally flabbergasted me by announcing that he wanted to do a video interview with me! Talk about being thrown in at the deep end! So, without any preparation or thought I was filmed in my little Studio and ‘though there are a few ‘urms’ and slight embarrassment, it didn’t turn out too badly. I think my years of amateur dramatics came to the fore! So, if you’re interested, go to this YouTube site and you can view me ‘in action’ so to speak! http://youtu.be/q3sGgSQ_czE
I was very small when I began to draw so I can’t remember when it all started. I do remember that as a little girl my bedroom walls were covered in my drawings of horses and animals and that I wrote my own stories and illustrated them - I still have some of them today.
