A Walk Through the Gallery

….at WAAC

It was a beautiful day. We had the doors wide open at the gallery waiting for my guests and the public to arrive. The wine was chilling and my hostess, Mary had prepared the platters of sweets and nibbles. Here is a quick tour of the gallery.

The afternoon started out slowly but my guests started to arrive and the wine started to flow. The public also started to come through the doors. It was wonderful catching up with friends and family and I loved meeting new people. My cards were a big hit and several paintings and photographs sold. Here is where I was able to add red dots.

Art at Montgomery’s Inn

….the new art season at Montgomery’s Inn has begun

Now that the renovations at the inn are 95% complete they are able to host art exhibitions in the Briarly Room once more. Just over two weeks ago I helped curate and install the   art work of Shannon McManus.

Shannon is an abstract painter who uses different mediums on Terraskin and Yupo papers. In her artist statement she describes her work thusly: My abstract paintings depict visions of a natural world largely untouched by humankind.  They portray the alchemic reactions inherent in stone, water, and earth; in decay, germination, migration and transformation.

Ten days after the installation the inn hosted the opening reception for Shannon’s show. It was very well received and close to 100 people showed up.IMG-0126
