Our Alumni Say
I have only been in the Mama on Palette community for a year, but in that time, they have enabled me to take my art to another level by offering opportunities to exhibit, publishing my paintings in an art book, and through their 'artist to artpreneur' workshop, I picked up useful tips on the art business and had the thrill of seeing my artwork turned into fashion by a designer. This is an organisation that sincerely supports mother artists and works tirelessly to give them opportunities to shine.
