Hello! Thank you so much for looking into my website. I've decided to write a newsletter which will be about my forthcoming events, every couple of months . For those who have bought my work in the past and were wondering what had happened to me in the last 2 1/2 years... well I came to a halt! Everything came to a standstill due to my seperation of 8 1/2 years together, then only 3 months later my father passed away. We all go through traumas and bereavments at some point in our lives and mine started then. For my experience I felt rebirth, sounds cliched, but I felt an inner strength and felt I came into a grown up vision of gratitude in my daily life. I spent last year in Spain where I had a good time sketching again and slowly I got back into painting and it's making me so happy. I have a gallery locally in Gloucestershire called Brian Sinfield in Burford. I then got offered, in November 2005, to exhibit at the Mall Galleries, London for the Discerning Eye show. At the moment I'm producing more new paintings. I shall be doing a private show in London or down here in Gloucestershire about which I'll keep you posted! I'm auctioning a painting for the Macmillan trust at the Tug of War at the House of Lords this June, then in July I'm auctioning away a painting to the Russian Ball. Hope to hear from you soon Emelie Email: emelietrevena@yahoo.com
