Below are my two etchings from my beautiful and talented friend, Melbourne artist Soula Mantalvanos.

i had seen Soula's work in Brunswick Street Gallery in 2006 and a couple of years later i contacted her through her website wanting to buy an etching. i went to her Collingwood home and studio where she and her partner Theo greeted me with warm smiles. After an enjoyable  half hour or so of chatting i left there thinking 'i may have new friends' ...i was right, we have been friends ever since! i adore them as well as Soula's craft.
