The Opening Reception!

The opening reception for my show was FANTASTIC! First, take a quick look at the artwork.

If you’re extremely observant, you may have noticed that the video included one piece with a red dot on the label. That’s right, it sold BEFORE the opening! Woohoo! I was elated. Here it is.

Poppies AblazeLots of people came to the reception. Many of them were family and friends, plus a healthy dose of quilters. I even saw people from my high school days! (And RECOGNIZED some of them! Crazy.)

Here I am with long-time family friends.

And here are a few more artwork photos, moving around the room. These are 6 pieces in my Notes for a Friend series. (They worked well with the adjacent purple cabinet.)

The corner with Spring Forth. It was one of the pieces I mentioned in my remarks.

Several people complemented me on the use of the aqua walls. I was just LUCKY to have artwork in those colors!

To say that the evening was exhilarating is an understatement. I got to talk about my work to a room full of interested people. (I got LOTS of questions and had many small group conversations.) And I got to catch up with old friends and enjoy the company of family. It was a great event!

There was so much interest in my process that a gallery talk/demo was quickly added for June 28th, at 2 PM. I love that!

This show will be up until June 29th. If  you’re in central VA I hope you’ll get to see it.
