I´m happy to share that I was recently featured on the cover of the magazine of the Pastel Society of Victoria, in Australia!
It was not just a surprise to receive an email from the editor of the magazine, Mss. Anne Taylor, but also a big privilege!!

It gave me the opportunity to know about this wonderful Society of pastelists and reaffirm that we are a big family. All around the world and all united by the passion of pastel, sharing the joy of painting.

I am also posting some interior pages of this magazine that I found very interesting. Especially, some pages regarding the life and the work of Clara Southern. An Australian Painter artist born in 1860.
Her artwork is absolutely STUNNING!

I fell in love immediately with her paintings in oil and pastel …the delicacy of the strokes, the color palette…She is a true master!
