Address: L’Espai gallery, Calle San Sebastian 3 Bajos, 07001 Palma.
The artist about herself: Ever spellbound as the first marvel; the magic energy captured of an instant moment in time. Studying at Bournmouth Institute of Art and assisting in studios in London, I knew the outdoors was my canvas. Canvas of sail brought adventure on the water but the draw of investigation, the moment, has the greatest attention and the keen eye more focused.
Thursday, 18 March: Fiesta CubaFlash at La Bodeguita del Medio from 22:30 — C / Vallseca, 18 – En La Lonja

This is what attendees of the January ‘Kick Start Your Best Year Ever’ workshop had to say:
"I would definitely recommend the kick start workshop as it makes you focus on what needs to be done to start to have the life you want.”
“Highly recommended for anyone with a dilemma in their life, de-clutter your life and feel more focused..”
" ………. Due to the exercises in the workshop I became very focused on what I needed to change and found that within one week of the workshop I was taking advantage of opportunities that I would have overlooked had I not had the opportunity to really focus on what I wanted. …………… I am now on the right road to create the life I want. I could not recommend the workshop enough to anyone who wants to create a better life for themselves."
