Hello Clare. I live in Cape Town South Africa. Just saw your house hunt in House Hunters International! How brave of you! Googled you and voila!! Found you. Seems it has been enormously successful. Well done and truly pray that the recent earthquake in Italy did not affect you. Greetings from afar. Rod
Hi Rod – many thanks for your lovely comment, and yes, after humble beginnings, things took off in Guardia – both for myself and the town – we even have a small South African contingency to our international community, now 🙂 Blessedly we were not affected by the recent earthquake ❤ but yes, very sad for Amatrice and the zone…
My wife and I watched the HGTV show and admire your courage to change your life. Every earthquake, I check the internet, hoping all is well with you. Love your art works.
Shawn, thank you so much for your beautiful words and encouragement! Yes, there has been significant seismic activity recently in Italy, but praise be, we are all safe here, with the restoration of the old town going on all around with great gusto 🙂 Loads of good wishes to you and your wife, and thank you again for your enthusiasm! Clare
Hi Clare,
I arrived in guardia a week ago Tuesday, my sister came here about a year ago thru a tour with Carlo Roberts
She fell in love and convinced her husband and me to purchase a house.
The sale finalized in march and this is the first visit here, I too am in love although a bit overwhelmed in searching online to find your book I was overjoyed. I now am on a quest to buy it, I have your address and hope I am able to find the art house and fingers crossed it will be open (I still don’t quite understand the hours)
Here I feel it’s hit or miss at best. Anyway off on my search for your book. Ciao Gloria Rose
Ciao Gloria – you can make an appointment to come by the Arthouse to buy the book, for sure – but I am working and can’t be disturbed in mid-painting 😉 Here’s a link to the book and ebook online: http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/ClareGalloway – just contact me here again, to make a time to pop by 🙂
This is such an inspirational website ! this is Norma, I really hope my daugther and I can come over and take a class with you! YOur thughts and words are very delicate and passionate in the ART world! ciao!! hasta luego !!
Hey again Norma – thank you so much for your lovely words – that means a lot! Just to clarify – I have a super-busy studio practise and so do all my teaching online (not in person) – if you want to see more about what I do, you can join up on Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/clareartista Many thanks again for your enthusiasm and support! And buon anno! x
Hello Clare,
I’m an artist living in San Francisco CA
USA.
I am thinking of MarieFoleo BSchool.
Could you share with me how it helped you? I’m curious about how it works.
Im a visual artist & vocalist & musican.
Thank you very Kindly, Monica Loncola
Hi Monica 🙂 It’s a fab course – very intensive, and a great means of reining in the artistic brain! I did it back in 2014, and it really helped me get from being-all-over-the-place, to honing my branding and purpose. I highly recommend it, if you’re willing to put in the hours and see it through 😀 Also, there are a ton of artistic people, masses of groups and meetups, rafts of resources and brains to pick on – many folks find that this is the most important aspect of the course for them.
(I’m also running an art school to support career development and long term sustainability of practise – you might be interested in the latter terms which will be released from summer onwards, this year 🙂 It’s on http://www.thersoa.com)
Really good wishes, and see you in B-School if you sign up! Clare
I just saw your home purchase on HGTV. I want to travel to Italy someday. I will stay at your place when I come for a visit. Thanks.
