* Check your spam folder
* ok...so have you checked your spam folder
This is always the first step if you dont get an email you are waiting for
You could go to the search bar in your email and type in 'mandyevansartist' in both your inbox and junkmail
* ok.....so the answer here is NOT to email me ... the problem is that I cannot reach you through email .. so emailing me or email subscribing at this point is futile.. There are many reasons a mail provider won't let emails through - its called 'bouncing' and its about 'permissions' ... very tricky..but not uncommon in this highly spammed world
* This is easy ... contact me through social media .... at the bottom of this page there are links to my Facebook and instagram page - where you can send me a message or comment on one of my posts
Once we can create a line of communication we can work out a way for you to get the information
It helped me to loosen up and realise how pleasurable art was without the boundaries of expectation
Every mark is a surprise - and there is no pressure because it can even become a background that you paint over - it is a wonderful feeling
As a controlled artist for over 30 years I felt a rush of the wonder I had experienced as a young artist just learning everything, it was so exciting
Since then I have been breaking more and more boundaries and have immersed myself into abstract art - I LOVE IT - and you can do it too
