- Hi marie, thanks for added me as friend. I've seen in your profile, your husband is a member of Guards Polo, Windsor, we go every year, for the Cartier Cup, and I'm in contact with them via facebook, so we've already got something in common, hehe, anyway, nice seeing your work, keep in touch, xxx kind regards, andy

Nice to be displayed alongside some really top names, but not at that price! I guess though you just have to take the rough with the smooth in this business. Had a good day on Saturday actually at a local point to point. Sold 3 originals and secured several commissions too. That's when it makes the job worth doing.

- Personally I'm not a big fan of galleries (apart from the more prestigious ones which I still aspire to!) as you are giving away a large chunk of profit in fees. Same goes for exhibitions (like SEA - so expensive getting stuff there and back for such a short time, and with little guarantee of sales. Am not doing it this year!). I'd rather cut out the middleman and deal with clients on a one-to-one personal level. The other thing is, about half of my work is in the form of commissions, so meeting people at shows and having time to chat is vital for that. Anyway, I love the business side of being an artist! Just a shame I actually have to paint as well!

- As far as exhibiting goes I do quite a variety. Locally, I exhibit regularly at most of the hunt events and point to points as well as at my local polo club who were kind enough to invite me to hang a few pictures in their marquee last year. Then I take a stand at several medium size equestrian and agricultural shows within striking distance of home, and also do the bigger ones further afield like the CLA gamefair, Midlands Gamefair etc, and some over the past few years with my agent as far afield as Scotland. I also have stuff in one or two galleries and my own little space at a local garden centre! So basically I exhibit where-ever and whenever I can! On average I do around 10 or 15 shows a year. Hard work!

- Hi Marie - how lovely to find a fellow SEA member on here! I absolutely love your work. One of these days I keep meaning to have a go at sculpture if I can find a workshop... complete mystery to me how you do it!

LivingPolo.com said… - thank you Marie!!! what a compliment coming from such talented artist like you.
we are still working on improving some little things, and also about to create a section like multimedia, but for artistic photography related to horses, with a nice photo player. I think it will be nice. so whenever you have more material, let me know so we can update your section...

I had earlier responded to your enquiry about the flex in mallets as you were making your decisions about this most recent sculpture. I notice that it appears that the mallet hand has the grip in the wrong position. The thumb always points toward the mallet head. It is obvious that you are doing a lovely piece, and I thought I should mention the detail before you cast and the matter can't be corrected. Great job, and thank you for letting us observe your progress.
Cheers,
Travis
