The Summer Exhibition at Castle Fine Art was the polar opposite. Upon arrival, the gallery staff were welcoming and upbeat - they had a positivity and energy that was infectious. My work had been beautifully displayed to the best advantage, and this played a major part in the successful sales. It was a pleasure as well as informative to meet the Washington Green directors, founding members and head offce teams. I learned the history of the company and an insight as to its workings, its systems and ethos. I also enjoyed meeting other artists, putting faces to the names and swapping stories of the trials and tribulations of being a working artist. The exhibition was a sell out for me. This had

I feel confdent and optimistic about the future and I intend to work hard for the mutual beneft of everyone involved.
