Diary of a tyro art promoter

This started in 2004 as a diary of what happened as I was promoting the art of my aunt, Hannah Frank, b. 1908, a Glasgow artist and sculptor, who studied at the Glasgow School of Art in the 1920s and beyond. My aunt died at the age of 100 in December 2008 but there's still lots going on: she was given Glasgow University‘s only posthumous doctorate, and she has achieved her wish of her art becoming ‘footsteps on the sands of time‘.

London Jewish Book Week!

I'm writing this at the internet cafe at the Royal National Hotel where I've been sitting on the Scottish Jewish Archives Centre stall at the London Jewish Book Week! I've talked to lots of people who hadn't heard of Hannah Frank before but LOVED the art...and I was interviewed by the Jewish Chronicle yesterday so hopefully there'll be something about Hannah Frank in there on Friday! off to the Ben Uri gallery now todrop offa pic for their auction and give them some books to sell,then back to the stall this afternoon to do some more 'schmoozing' - I love this part of my life! Please send me a comment if you read this, I hate to think that I'm writing to thin air.

love Fiona (now more commonly known as The Artist's Niece)
