Overview

By an unusual twist of fate, the Florence Biennale Committee invited me to exhibit my art at this prestigious International Art Exhibition. The first email they sent me, I assumed it was a Nigerian scam and promptly deleted it! Six weeks later I received another. This time I investigated further and sure enough, it was kosher. God knows, I didn't consider myself a real artist. Just a bit of a dabbler. I'd made a couple of small collages and loaded the images onto an obscure website. The committee spotted them among the thousands of art images on the Internet. That year the Committee chose around 7 or 8 artists from New Zealand and a total of 850 artists world wide. It was this chapter of events that has instigated the whole Italian thing, apart from the fact that I've always had a restless yearning for an adventure in Europe. The timing was right. While I'm there, maybe, I'll look at some houses for sale in the region.
