Hi Cassandra

I have just finished and named a painting after you for an exhibition that I have in Christchurch this Thursday - will send an image tomorrow - Mark

Here she is.....She is part of a collection for an exhibition that Mark Olsen is having with Fisher Galleries in Christchurch, opening this Thursday night

First Reaction!
Earlier today after wondering how on earth I was going to get my book published and into the hands of the people who need it most I received two very encouraging calls. (did you know that 80,000 jobs were lost this year!)
One from my dear friend Monika who phoned from all the way in Keri Keri to urge me to look for alternatives re publication (versus get into more debt over it)

And then dove tailing on this conversation, In a moment of added flow Denis Robinson, the author of the New Zealand's Favourite Artists series of books followed up from his call to me the other night and emailed an publishing company on my behalf . This was quite a surprise and very, very generous of him). Even more delightful was that less than 30 minutes after emailing them they came back to him:

"This sounds great! I know quite a few people who would want to get hold
of a book like this.Thanks for suggesting Cassandra contact us. I look forward to receiving
the material from her."

Well I didn't need to be asked twice. The timing couldn't be more perfect as they are having a new projects meeting 30 October - now is that flow or what!

Speaking of flow - have you completed the career nirvana survey yet? Go on! What are you waiting for
