The Exhibition Opening.

Oh yay!!!! My first* exhibition has just opened at a local gallery. It is a group exhibition, and I feel very privileged to be be able to exhibit with this group of talented print makers.























The opening was a blast:
Making sure the liquid refreshments are ready: exhibiting artist Jane McIlleron, and organizer of the exhibition, artist and teacher Colleen Ross.
  
Colleen Ross discussing a work with exhibiting artist Trudi McPherson.

As for the art, well, you will have to visit the exhibition! I have on display Nine Ants, my Rumours series, and three artist books - The Games We Play, Rumours and Travail. 

* I have just been reminded that technically this is not my first exhibition - last year a mail art etching of mine was on exhibition in Amadora, Portugal.

I saw on Linda Sue's comments that one of your pieces sold. Congrats! Yes, having someone besides your mother appreciate you work is very rewarding. Best wishes for more success. The gallery party looks like great fun. I love my own little Anairam booklet. Nice work.
