Hello 2025 ! [Newsletter]
Featuring “Autumn Reflections”
My last oil painting of 2024 full of beautiful warm hues of autumn foliage and the reflections on the water to evoke feelings of hope and renewal, perfect mindset for starting 2025 😊
Hello !
It’s been AWHILE since I have connected with you …. and apologies for that.
From a creativity perspective, 2024 was a tough year as was not in the art studio as much as I would’ve wished …. following an accident mounting my horse in March leading to 2 surgeries, unplanned urgent trips to the US for family, and then recently having to put down our beloved retired mare (and art muse). 🦄 🎨
Throughout all … ART was my THERAPY in 2024 … both in creating 25+ paintings and participating in art events (Barbizon, Paris, Bucks County PA USA) and seeing you. 😊
So what’s the plan for 2025?
The 2025 Art Pipeline is a beautiful mix of equine art and landscape oil paintings, plus fun monthly equine art challenges as part of the Paard Verzameld Collective. You'll also find some vibrant urban-themed paintings that bring a fresh splash of color and lively energy to any wall space.
[New for 2025] I’ll be creating unique art for open edition prints and merchandise. I love this as it makes art accessible for all ages and budgets … and will change with the seasons ❄️ 🌱 ☀️ 🍁 … so always good to check out the ‘Shop Art’ on website to see what’s on offer.
My 2025 art events will be limited so I can spend more time in the art studio (when not at the stables) focusing on Barbizon & Paris art shows … with some other exciting events currently in planning stages later in 2025 including Tokyo [stay tuned].
So what is coming up soon?
Galerie 39 Barbizon : Solo Art Show « Hiver en Couleur » featuring landscapes (4-16 Feb, vernissage Saturday 8 February 5-7pm) [note: my equine art will be there 25 Aug – 7 Sept 2025]
Galerie Thuillier, Paris 3 : Prix de la Presse featuring a new unrevealed oil painting (21 Feb – 6 March, vernissage Tuesday 25 Feb, 18h)
(Check out website periodically for updates Current Year Art Events (click here))
So what about the Online Shopping ?
It was very exciting to launch E-commerce in late 2024. So now you can purchase online.
Have you checked out my online shop(s) ? Yes … there are two shops. I needed to do that to keep customs and shipping costs down so there is Shop USA and Shop Europe for time being.
What can you purchase? A variety of art from original oil paintings to unique art created for open-edition of prints and merchandise, and E-Gift cards (for paintings, prints, merchandise, gift cards, and can be used towards commissions).
“Shop Art USA” is up and running
"Shop Art Europe" is currently limited to original oil paintings. Unique art-designed prints and merchandise will come later in March. … but you can get items sooner if you click here Contact me
