Hi – I actually quite like Rhoades – or both first and last – as you prefer. I just use initials now – but the style suits my paintings as they are quite intricate.  Altho I use initials, my feeling is that you have an interesting name – so why not use it! That’s my penny’s worth anyway!! Would be lovely to see your work if you were able to post something, Beverley

I like the sound of that book Michal – I too have had similar struggles with art and wealth in the past and at one time nearly gave up my art degree to do social work for similar reasons. In fact, I ended up working in the field of art and health for over 20 years so it remained close to my heart I guess. I see things differently now but that book sounds like a must!  Thanks for sharing – Beverley
