Art and Ambition 2016

 

Richard Witham
 
Since I started creating artwork over 5 years ago I have been fortunate that my work has been supported and purchased continually and I now have a number of wonderful supporters who have been the reason why I continued and developed my work and have seen it purchased by customers as far away as Singapore to the US.
 
  
Via eBay - my blog and website I have enjoyed great success as well as having tried out my work with success via a small numbers of galleries here in the South West and London.
 
As 2016 starts I have pondered what the next step should be and I have realised that there is only one real direction and I intend to pursue this avenue across this year.
 
 
When I started and as I continued I never imagined I would have made this rather unexpected career change albeit that I have continued with business world work to subsidise my art ensuring I could continue and that Gael and I [and now Alfie the Cocker Spaniel] do not starve in the process.
 
To focus on creating my work to now work with galleries in the 'real world art market' I shall be ceasing my business world work as well as removing myself from eBay to ensure there is no conflict.
 
 
 
For those who may be interested in understanding how I intend to realise the next part of this journey please click here.
 
 
This is not a request for participation however if your feel you could share it with colleagues then this supports my desire to reach as many people as I can.

I have been fortunate to be busy with some exciting commissions which have led me into the world of Sean Scully for inspiration.

The piece is made up of various wood and wood board and card painted and placed together in a construction/relief style.
