Taking part in the @artistsupportpledge Started by @matthewburrowsstudio
Due to COVID-19 many artists have found themselves without work, teaching, technical support. gallery work and exhibitions. IN an attempt to help alleviate some of this Matthew Burrows has instigated the @artistsupportpledge . The concept is a simple one . An artist post an image of their work that they are willing to sell for no more that £200 ( Not including shipping) and then when they have reached £1000 in sales they buy another artists work for £200.
This is a pastel on paper 50 cm x 50 cm . £180 plus shipping
