Playing Catch-Up

Opening night with Suzanne and Hugh

It's been a whirlwind couple of months, but now that the dust is settling, I'm so glad to be able to check back in!  First and foremost, the Spectrum Show at Gallery 4463 went off without a hitch!  I had the pleasure of exhibiting my work with the very talented Suzanne Cooper Morris and Hugh Gordon MacKay.  To get the most out of the show, we spent a lot of time prepping and advertising for the opening.  Thanks to the support of our families, friends, fellow artists, and our community, the show had a great turnout!  Our work was well-received, and we all enjoyed seeing our pieces go out the door and on to new homes.

As with any show, I learned a lot from my experience with this one.  I truly appreciate all the hard work it takes to put a show together and, with that in mind, I'm already itching to do another.  I'm also ready to stretch my wings a little further and seek out more opportunities to show my work.  I have some new projects I'm really excited about, and I'm anxious to share them with the art community!

Before I do all that though, I have a studio space that needs to be unpacked and put into working order.  Yup, that's what a lot of the whirlwind was about--we waited until the last possible moment, and then we picked up and moved in a very condensed and intense fashion.  While I don't think we'll make a repeat of that experience, we pulled through all right--thanks in big part to the help of some seriously awesome friends.

Now that life is returning to normal, the road ahead is clear and I know what direction I'm heading in.  I got my drafting table set up today, I found my easel and paint box, and that's enough to get started!

Thanks for reading, and I'll catch you again soon with some new work from the new house!
