Today I got the shock of my life – this email was sitting in my inbox:
Hello Gillian, I hereby would like to inform you that we would like to exhibit your work at our gallery Noodweer in Leiden. Please let us know when you will be able to come to Europe with your work so we can start making arrangements. …. Accommodation can be arranged. Kind regards, Tyler Snoek, art director.
When you get an email like this from an extremely talented artist who is one of the co-founders of Noodweer there is only one thing that comes to mind – Holy xxx !!! This was so out of the blue that I am still grinning from ear to ear and doing a mental happy happy dance !
