The gallery was hung beautifully.
l. to r.: moi with attitude, awesome Executive Director of MCA Nancy Ledding, best bud Modrea Seiler, and County Commissioner Barbara Fitos. All strong advocates for the arts.
Wonderful friend and talented artist Kelli Money Huff in front of her textured piece.
Another good artist friend (I love my fellow artists) Carlynne Hershberger with her beautiful mixed media. The "browns" are actually gold leaf that didn't translate in the photo but simply glowed. Kelli Money Huff and Carlynne published a book together entitled "Creative Colored Pencil Workshop".

Sharon, this was an excellent and thoughtful post. You are a wonderful advocate for Marion County arts in addition to being a fabulous artist.
Wise woman, creating your own emphasis on positive news and art patronage.
It's a good time for all of us to turn off the TV news streams and create a different focus.
One person at a time, the listing of the ship can change.
Impressive, what you've been doing for marketing your own vibrant, excellent art.
Keep on.........
Thanks Nancy & Bonnie! I always appreciate your comments.
If there was ever a time for artists to be supportive of each other, it's now more than ever. Solidarity will enable us to overcome the challenges of the economy and accomplish our goals, both individually and as a group.
What a great web log. I spend hours on the net reading blogs, about tons of various subjects. I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.
Anon: thank you so much for taking the time to 1)read so deeply into my blog, and 2)provide encouragement to continue writing this sometimes personal journal, sometimes boring practical essay. I often wonder if anyone ever reads my posts and now you've confirmed yes, someone hears me out there! Bless you...
