SOME OF MY ART WORKS CAN BE SEEN BY CLICKING WHERE IT SAYS "View my: PICS" UNDERNEATH THE ART PIC I CHOSE AS MY PROFILE PHOTO. YOU WILL NEED TO SIGN UP AN ACCOUNT WITH MYSPACE TO ACCESS THIS ART.I write children's books (as yet unpublished. I welcome any publishers who will pay me; NOT the other way around) and I'm an Artist.I'd really appreciate some comments as to the saleability of my works. I have to concentrate on exhibit art work now and I'm not sure what to paint/draw etc as my art tutor and I appear to have differing tastes... :) i.e. stuff he seems to like I was going to put in the bin!I'm an Extramural student at The Learning Connection (TLC), Island Bay, Wellington, New Zealand. I had the opportunity to go to Art School when I was a teenager, but instead followed my friends to an Academic College. I count that as the first major mistake in my life. So finally I am correcting the one life style mistake possible to correct; and I'm part way into a 5 year art study. I'm currently doing illustrations (all my art is under my copyright at this stage) for a short children's book on mice (copyright under the Bourne Convention); and my copyrighted work (B.C. + Library of Congress) "Magpie the Fairywitch" series, as well as my class work.I am a grandmother of 4 under 9yr olds; who also feature in my writing. :) My children have all grown up and have their own families. So now I happily live with 1 small dogs and a few dozen pet mice.My quiet lifestyle is conducive to my writing & artistic works.
