Summer Calling! Stephanie Ho Artist Newsletter #6

Hello!

I recently got back from a 3 weeks' holiday in Hong Kong. Though the main purpose of the trip was to visit family, I took the opportunity to meet up with some new and old clients there. It is always a delight to hear how my paintings brought life to their rooms.

As mentioned in my previous newsletter, I have been invited to do a collaboration with artist and curator, Leah Michelle, raising money for Action for Children.

The event took place at the New Artist Fair 28 - 30 March. Through selling raffle tickets at the art fair, a lucky person won the painting, raising a total of £340 for the charity. Some of the paintings exhibited are still up for grab, including the very popular Nano series (12 x 12 cm), a selection of 30 x 30 cm from the Human Planet and the latest Four Seasons series. Do let me know if you would be interested.

After a short break, I am back in the saddle. Though life is so different with a little one, I really treasure every single minute I get to paint. There are so many new ideas floating in my head; I just can't wait to put them all on canvas!

With summer just around the corner, I am very much looking forward to some fruitful and inspirational months ahead.

Best regards,

Stephanie

Hi,

Hope this newsletter finds you well.

I just can't resist sharing with you some of my personal news, before giving a recap of all the exciting things that happened with my work in the last couple of months...

We have a new addition to our family! Our little boy, Christian, was born on 12 Nov. Santa has indeed come early this year; he is the most precious gift that we have ever received.

Last Minute Christmas Gift Ideas

Talking about gifts, if you haven't already done your Christmas shopping, here's an idea for you. A selection from my nano series, prices from £100. Do let me know asap if you would be interested. I will send you images of paintings available and will try my best to deliver them to you or your loved ones before 25 Dec. Attached photo of one of my happy customers.

The East West Art Award Exhibition

Despite preparing for the new arrival, I managed to take time to submit my painting, The Great Queue (100 x 50 cm) to the East West Art Award and am delighted to be shortlisted again this year. The exhibition took place 22 - 26 Oct at La Galleria in Pall Mall, London. 

Online Exposures

It has been an honour to be invited to take part in a collaboration with artist and Art Director of New Artist Fair, Leah Michelle, to raise money for the Children for Action Charity.

Stephanie Ho Artist Newsletter #4

Hello!

Hope you are well.

It's been a very busy few months for work. Among all excitement, the highlight got to be the completion of one of my largest commission to date, including The Great Queue, 250 x 90 cm, which has taken over my living room for a good couple of months. It's a relief to learn that the client is very pleased with the outcome.

Exhibitions 

In addition to commission works, I have also taken part in a number of group exhibitions and art fairs recently, including People, A Figurative Exhibition by Lemon Art at Bankside Gallery, London; Asia Contemporary Art Show with Art Beatus, at JW Marriot Hotel Hong Kong and New Artist Fair at Truman Brewery in Brick Lane, London. A big THANK YOU to all of you who came to support!
