TANIA BEAUMONT

I am very pleased to anounce that I have made the shortlist,  A & I magazine, for Artist of the Year award. 50 candidates whittled down from the 3,400 submissions.

Collected my etching, Oasis, from their Sloane St offices  yesterday, and I should hear the results in the next day or so. All shortlisted pics will be in the January 2012 edition of the magazine, due out any minute !!

Update March 2012. Didnt win but am pleased to have made shortlist !

I am preparing for an event on wednesday evening and thursday at Kensington Town Hall. I shall be selling all sorts of exciting goodies, including felt flower bracelets, sterling silver jewellery and handmade cards, curio keys (you really need to see these !) and a few pieces of artwork if there's room.

Been home in W.London for 2 months now, and starting to get the hang of it ! Studio gradually taking shape, and I'm excited about getting involved in the UK art scene. There's such a lot going on and here's what I am taking part in, so far (all in London) :

'Eastern Light'. 18th-23rd May 2011. Printmakers Council exhibition,      Bhavan Centre,  Castletown Road, W14
