Media and Press 2023

  • This year I have been answering helping many silk artists by answering questions on social media sites, and being the voice of calm when it was required. Our lives on social media could not have been imagined a few years ago, and everyone is being affected in many ways – good and bad and even mediocre.  This has led to new connections and collaborations, in such a lovely heart-felt way, with amazing souls around the world. 💜
  • After months of planning, my new silk painting Courses are scheduled to be released starting from August 2023, a new adventure I am very excited about!

Media and Press 2022

  • 10th July – First Draft Proof Copy has arrived from Amazon, and I am thrilled to bits! Launch date is to be before the end of July 2022!
  • 11th January 2022 – It’s been waiting patiently and is finally coming to fruition – after several iterations (and way too many ideas), I’ve settled on the name:
  • For the past few months I’ve been reaching out to silk artists – some I knew, others I found online and was impressed by their artistic styles and designs. I now how 5 confirmed artists and 5 more potentials. I’ve also zoomed with one of the artists in Wales UK, and a tech associate in the US who shared great info on creating magazines. I’m aiming for an July Launch!

Media and Press 2021

  • COVID-19 is still with us. Luckily my online courses can be accessed by anyone on the internet, so for those people at home, unable to go out and mingle, following my video tutorials has
  • worked out well for them.

 

Media and Press 2020

  • COVID-19 appeared around March 2019 and turned the world upside down. People had to start working from home, or work out how to transition from owning a brick and mortar store to becoming an online business.
  • As I’ve been working from home for many years, in both my artistic ventures and my business / technical ventures, this was seamless for me without any disruptions. As I noticed more and more people struggling with this transition, I volunteered to help others move their products, services and training online.

January

1993

Artists For Life organiser Sharon Davson initiated the Celebrity Hands Up project (http://davsonart.com/celebrity-hands-up/) to assist endangered species awareness. She invited international singing legend Neil Diamond to launch the Hands Up project with her.

Teena Hughes and the other Artists for Life Members were instrumental in the success of this very simple form of art, with participants providing an autographed handprint using colourful paints. For Teena the injection of humour helped engage the celebrities and ensure the whole process was fun and memorable.

Teena capture the hand-prints of many celebrities for this project, including Sam Neill, George Negus and Glenn Robbins to name just a few.
