As an artist in Burlington, I felt isolated. Who but an artist can answer or even cares about things like. “What colours would you use for shadows on snow?” or “How should I go about painting mist?” or “Where are the local creatives displaying their finished work?”
Creating usually happens when I’m ‘home alone’ and that’s good but I desperately need community. I need input and encouragement in order to grow. To market my art work, I need to know what’s happening in the local art scene. Since joining EGCC, I’ve grown as a creative person. I’m now doing things I never dreamed I would. Now I enter my work in art shows and competitions. Previously, I didn’t know these things exited in Halton. It’s people from EGCC that have made me aware of opportunities and gave me the confidence to go on new creative adventures. I’m very grateful!
