Notes III

The common belief is artists have to

starve in a garret for years before
becoming successful. Agnes is living

proof that that doesn’t have to be the
case.

Here Agnes talks about her progress

from simply liking art in her youth, to
taking up painting later in life, and

transitioning from student to teacher
in a few short years. She has won a

myriad of competitions, had international
exhibitions, and has paintings purchased

and hung all round the world. Amazing
stuff when you stop to think about it.

She attributes her success to her passion

for creativity and painting, and love of
the natural world. This is not to say she

makes her living painting, because she
doesn’t, and that is not her objective.

But her intense drive to improve and
commitment to complete projects

has funded her hobby and given her
immeasurable satisfaction and a part

income.

In this show we discuss how to take your
first steps into painting as a hobby, how

and where to learn, and then the pathway
to becoming better known and marketing

your works. Agnes very strongly
