Call me an optimist, but I believe that art can heal. Man has the powerful ability to dream, to create better worlds and new realities. And images play an important role in this. Our history begins with images, which go far back in time, even farther than language, and are cross cultural. We are united through images. I keep this in mind daily as I am barraged through news and media with sensationalist stories and events of world crisis. Part of me wants to join the peace corps but instead I paint. I paint with the conviction that my images can heal.

Hi
My name is Jillian Gregurke (Australia). I have just been invited to exhibit in the Florence Biennale 5-13 December 2009. I am eagerly awaiting correspondence from the Committee. I was just wondering about the events, which you talked about and any information really would be greatly appreciated. I have never left the country before and I am unsure of the logistics/ expectations etc. Did you think it was a worthwhile venture?
Artfully yours- artist to artist
Jillian
Hi Jillian,
I had a wonderful time in Florence. The Biennale is well run (in my opinion) and well worth the trip. I made many new artist friends, met critics and agents, and got to spend time in a beautiful city. There were no lines at the Uffici and other famous museums. The first week in December is a great time to be there - good weather too! The show ran for 9 days. I highly recommend staying on site near your work for those 9 days, and stay a few days longer to enjoy Florence. I brought 3 small size (26" x 32") paintings that fit together in one box. That box went with me as baggage on the plane. It was a good alternative to paying high shipping costs.
Hope this helps.
Nancy
