The End Is The Beggining

On Saturday, January 24, 2015 we are closing what has been my longest and biggest show yet. It opened back in November 2014. The Gallery at Elemar is a very spacious and beautiful place to show and to hold events. We are closing with an art discussion in which I’ll be presenting on the healing and learning benefits of art. You are invited to join us.

Having an exhibit take a lot of work. I don’t have an agent or an event planner to do it for me. I get help from my family, friends, and acquaintances as advisors but I plan most of it. It is time consuming and very stressful at times. Generally my solo shows had been a day or two. Sometimes they begin and end with the reception. It is the first time I have an exhibit for this period of time and after the closing I still hold exhibit space in the gallery for an undetermined period of time. You can still see my work there after the show. That’s one good thing about closing this show. On the other hand, I get to go back to public speaking that day. The exhibit will be up after that because on Tuesday I’m giving a short presentation to the New Haven Rotary Club. After that, I go back to the gallery in March for another presentation about media for artists (more information on that coming soon). The end is the beginning.

Closing this exhibit is also the beginning of planing the next solo show. I am participating in group shows through the year but I don’t plan those. I just participate. That gives me time to get ready, put together a new collection, and put together all I need to make it happen. It is going to take some time but the most important thing for me is to be able to see it before it happens. It all begins with the art pieces and how they come together. That’s a constant work in progress. It is great to see it all unfold.
