How are we all? Firstly, if you are receiving this it means that you have signed up to my newsletter, so I want to start off by saying a big fat thank you and give you a huge virtual hug! I was honestly so overwhelmed when I launched my website that so many of you were interested in hearing the stories behind my work. As an artist, we sometimes forget that there is a whole audience of people who will eventually see what we create and hopefully feel inspired by it. Or at least feel something by looking at it. I guess that is why I wanted to start this online blog as a means to engage with you, and tell you a bit more about why I make the work that I do.

Usually, everything that I create is relative to my life at a specific time, I suppose it’s my way of journaling my thoughts. I go through waves where I feel I NEED to create to survive, and then other periods of time where I’m okay without making anything at all, for a while. My artwork definitely correlates to my mental health. If I’m struggling, the paint brush becomes my anti-depressant. The notion that artists need to go through pain to make work is definitely true for me, my struggles have given my art so much emotional depth. I used to just care about painting a pretty picture, but now it is so much deeper than that for me. Making art is a way for me to bare my soul and speak to people without having to say the words. We all have various ways of being our truest self, and art for me is the truest form of self expression that I have ever been able to experience.

Recently, I have been focused on developing ways to make art more accessible and affordable for everyone, because I think that is incredibly important. I’ve only ever had original paintings available and never thought about offering prints because if I’m being totally honest, it seemed like a bit of a faff (lol) and I was worried about the quality not being good enough! But babessss I have spent bloody months making sure that they are perfect, and I am so happy with them all! Each one has been printed on 300gsm high quality paper. And what truly makes them so special is that the camera I used to create the prints was my best friend Tierney’s. Some of you reading this will know all about her (because she is an icon), she passed away when we were young and she studied Photography, so when she was here we would always create together. I studied Art obvs and she would always add her own little bit onto my paintings so that she could take some credit! And it feels like we are finally making art together again which is sooo special to me. When I opened the box with her camera in, I could physically smell her, and I just knew that this was a project we were doing together. So yeah, as you can imagine these prints are pretty special. They are available in A5, A4 and A3 starting at £15. I also offer custom sizing upon request. I really hope you find one that you love and can relate to.

I want to wish you all a beautiful day, and enjoy the sunshine! Speak soon!

OH HEYYYYYY! I am finalllyyyy ready to launch my website after months of working really really bloody hard on it. I can’t wait for you to scroll through my work and understand why I did it. Everything I have wrote in this portfolio is extremely honest, I really want to be as vulnerable as I can with you, because that is what I think making art is all about- feeling, and making people feel. My work spans a lot of raw emotion from feeling heartbroken to feeling the best I have ever felt. Hopefully you can find some solace in the artwork I have created and the emotions I have shared.

Today I have been proof reading the website in preparation for the launch tomorrow and I was actually quite shocked reading some of the words that I wrote about the paintings depicting my heartbreak, because of how differently I feel about it today- only a couple of months on. I made ‘The end of my story’ when the feelings were still very raw and I didn’t write about it until about a year after that. I have since added more detail to this painting because it needed to evolve. I think for a long time I was devastated that this was what my art was becoming. I felt a deep sadness for it ending because I wasn’t given the closure that I deserved- and this translated to my work, but I look at it differently now. I always felt gratitude for the time that we spent together, but now I feel gratitude for it ending in equal measures. I know myself so much better than I ever have before, and that deep sadness allowed me to heal and awaken my soul even more than I ever thought possible. So if anyone is reading this feeling like their heartbreak is never going to go away, (don’t get me wrong it can take years to fully find your feet again) but hopefully you can find comfort in the fact that even in the space of a few months, SO much can change.

Anyway, enough of that! I always find a way to turn everything into a life lesson LOL! How did I get onto that?! Oh yeah I was proof reading! Hopefully I did a good job and there aren’t any spelling mistakes. Grammar police let me know if there’s any missing commas will ya? AHHHH i’m truly so excited and grateful to be in a place where I’m launching a website!! Another great new beginning, I hope you stay for the ride.

Speaking of new beginnings, this isn’t the only one! I have also recently moved into a new art studio which is DEFINITELY rough and ready but I feel so grateful to have a proper space to make art in. I really feel like my best work is going to happen in here, because I can chuck paint at the canvas and not worry about it getting on the walls or my mums best furniture! It’s amazing!

I’ll stop rambling now and let you carry on with your day. If you want to please have a scroll through my new website and sign up to my newsletter for these blog posts straight to your inbox! It would mean so much to me.

Speak soon.

Bye for now!

Hiiiiiiiii. It feels kind of surreal to be writing my first ever blog post on my very own website! But here I am! I have just started building my website and I cannot wait to launch it and for you to read all about my artwork…

This will be a space for me to update you with anything I think you will care about… I want it to feel like i’m texting a friend! I will keep you updated with what’s going on and let you into my life a lil bit. I have always tried to keep it real and vulnerable with my art which I promise I will continue into my writing.

So what’s going on atm? I’m writing this on Tuesday after taking part in a really lovely market for Spectrum of Misconception at the weekend. If you haven’t heard of them they are bloody fabulous and aim to provide adults with autism inspiring and motivating work. The market, set up by Emma showcased local small businesses and now i’ve done a few with them, the other stallholders have become great friends so it was a blast to do it together again! I love supporting them and you should if you can too!

On the agenda this week is moreeeee painting wahoooo. It’s my birthday on Friday and I’m being taken on a surprise trip somewhere in the UK that I’m told has lots of beautiful painting locations which is very exciting. I will share pics on my insta @byamypozzilli so follow there to see what I get up to. Cannot wait to just spend hours painting and breathing in the sea air (I don’t know where I’m going but defo getting the vibes there are beaches)

Also if you want to get my blog posts sent directly to your email sign up to my newsletter!

Heheh okay speak soon.

Bye for now!
