The work of artist Trayci Tompkins who is based in the KZN Midlands, can
now be found on a UK-based website.
Tompkins explains her new status:
“I recall the first time I put my ceramic work out for sale. It was at a
group exhibition at the prestigious Tatham Art Gallery in Pietermaritzburg. It
was only one. A little black and yellow pot with a wonky Aztec design. But for
me, it held the start of ‘Who knows where this will lead me’. Fortunately, I
still have this little gem after my husband proudly purchased it as soon as the
exhibition opened, “in case anyone else realized its value” he said!
“Today I sit in a similar place with the launch as the UK based website
www.newartforyou.co.uk goes live with an international shopping cart.
“This is the first time my paintings will be exhibited on any platform
together for sale alongside a group of abstract artists from across the world.
As some of you may know, I’ve been painting my way through an 18 month
sabbatical. It’s been remarkable, affording me time to pause and connect to
what it is that I really want to say with my art. I took away the pressure of
‘making art to sell’ … so what you see is now is ‘my voice’ within the layers
of texture, collage and paint. There are stories, emotions and captured moments
of life for us all to celebrate or recall in our own way - this is what I love
most about abstract figurative expression...”
Because of postal restrictions, and to make her work affordable to all
who connect with it, she has settled on quality fine art Giclée prints, which
will be printed and dispatched worldwide from the UK.

Tompkins adds: “It’s a great solution, but one that has taken weeks of
research to make sure we get the best quality reproduction. I’m feeling
completely chuffed with the results and grateful to everyone who has encouraged
and supported me along this journey.
“I hope you’ll check out the website or share this with your friends..
www.newartforyou.co.uk and click on my link … (and maybe support me with a
purchase!) and if you’re a South African resident you can DM me for both
original and quality print prices ... which will really make today even more
significant.”
