Thoughts on Contributing in The Big Pond…

As some of you may know from this post, I was accepted a few weeks ago by the royal art collection to submit a piece for an exhibition in Dubai…  Having come through the process whereby I have been required to create a piece of work within a set theme and size dimensions, I now [...]
