Hello, and welcome to Our Newsletter Issue #23!
It is a pleasure to have you here.
As you may remember on the 24th of January I started a little giveaway competition lasting a week. Thank you to everyone that took part!
The winner was Sax Sumeray, who received her print earlier this week.
The overall process of doing the giveaway was so much fun especially doing the draw using a spin-the-wheel simulation online, which selected a winner at random.
Considering the positive feedback from this, I will probably be doing some more giveaways in time.
Here's a reel I made of the print's packaging process.
Not joking when I say this but it took me ages to make so I'm quite proud of it! Let me know what you think.

In other news, since our last newsletter I’ve been working on two private commissions, which has kept me very busy over the past couple of weeks.
Working on commissions is something I really enjoy, and I actively set time aside for projects like these each year. I find there’s something really special about working on a piece that is personal to someone else, and subsequently being trusted to bring that vision to life in a way that does it justice whilst also being true to the way I paint.
It's a process that's actually inspiring a lot of ideas for new pieces... I'll share more on this though in due course.
In the meantime,
Wishing you a lovely weekend.
Lots of love,
Arietta xx
