Of late...

Some other things that have been happening/are happening:

Still working on some paintings...

I finished my website! Got most of my work uploaded on there now :) visit www.simonemariecreative.com

About 2 weeks ago I entered some work into a silent art auction that was raising money for a small church community in the province of Nawalprasi in Nepal. It was a really fun evening and I was stoked that my work sold and i was able to donate %50 of the proceeds to a really good cause! As far as I know money raised went goes towards building a kitchen, installing benches, large ovens, sinks, drainage and roofing.

On a very important note! I'm currently putting my energies into voting for my wonderful friend Roxanna Zamani!

Roxy is currently in Italy after being accepted out of over 700 applicants as 1 of 23 finalist for the prestigious fashion awards
Mittelmoda where she won a prize and will now show her work at Milan Fashion Week along side other Mittelmoda winners. Soon after Mittelmoda she was selected as a finalist for a competition run through FashionTV, won her section and took out the
main prize. The over all prize allows her to show her collection at Perth Fashion Festival in September.
She has also recently been selected as a finalist in Westpac Young Fashion Designer Competition, there are ten finalists and the top three that are voted by the public are able to show their mini collection at New Zealand Fashion Week where an over all winner will be announced. Prizes include 1 year of mentoring by a NZ fashion Designer, $5,000 deposited into a Westpac account and business mentoring for a year. Roxy is extremely talented, a really hard worker and totally deserves to win this! If you google her name you'll see that she is popping up everywhere cos she is amazing! So I encourage you to vote for her!
You are able to vote once a day everyday until the 5th Sep...which is very soon, so get voting! Click on the link below to Vote.
