👋 I have been preparing checking my inventory of my big paintings art collection.
- I’m planning to sell them, to declutter as not wishing to store them at home prior to risk of flooding at home.

Oh.. it’s so hard to choose to keep some of those & not.. some are important large artworks that associate with each other.

I will solve this soon.

From America to Europe, Camille Pissarro to Helen Frankenthaler, there was so much to learn and explore at the NZSL tour of the recent exhibition 'A Century of Modern Art' 🖼

Our tour guide was Deaf artist Abbie Twiss, who led this group of attendees through Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki and shared some of the history behind 57 iconic works by 53 artists.

This was a fantastic way to spend Sunday afternoon, and we can't wait to work with Auckland Art Gallery again.
