Bursting Into 2020

2019. What a year, huh? For me it has been full of great artistic growth and great personal challenges. It's a year that has brought some amazing new allies in the art world but has also taken with it some of my dearest people. In all, I am happy to leave 2019 behind, and though I am more than tempted to tiptoe cautiously into 2020, weary of what it can bring, I am instead going to break down that imaginary door into the unknown with my head high and my camera at my eye.

But why wait until January when I could start building my tomorrows today? With this thought in mind, I present to you some of the parting shots I'm taking at 2019, little bricks that will build my path to a better year to come.

I wish you and your loved ones as wonderful a holiday season as possible, and the hope and energy to punch 2019 where it hurts as you saunter into 2020.

Where Do I Start…

I hear that the very beginning is a very good place to start, so let's go there!

When I studied photography in college, my absolute favorite assignments and my absolute favorite photos were the abstract ones. They're like poetry, and much like poetry I often don't get it when others do it, but boy do I love to produce my own.

I have to confess that a huge reason why I joined the Broward Art Guild is that they had on their calendar an exhibit called “Abstractions”. I nearly squealed with joy when I saw it listed for September and I have been secretly counting down the months to this opening.

Imagine my delight (read: I nearly fell of the bed, and then proceeded to call my Mommy) when the Guild called to tell me one of my pieces has been selected for a Judge's Recognition! You can see all of the pieces I'm presenting in the video below (the winner is the third piece in the vid), but first take a moment to squee with me! SQUEEEEEEE!!!

Ok, now mark your calendars for Saturday 9/14 from 6p-9p at the Broward Art Guild Gallery (3280 NE 32nd St, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33308).

August Exhibit In Downtown Fort Lauderdale!

The reception for the 69th Anniversary Member's Exhibit and Artists With Autism Showcase was a blast! I love the chance to talk to artists about their pieces, and to lose myself in the art. Well, at least a bit this time, since my little guy was there and he was not interested in sharing me. 😆

I still had a great time, and the support of family and friends, plus the excitement of a room full of art fans and artists. It's always an honor to participate in an exhibit, and I am soooo looking forward to the September one (details to follow!). For now, check out my Insta post to see pictures of me and my photos at the reception.

And don't forget: you can see it in person at the Broward County Main Library in downtown Fort Lauderdale until August 30th. Don't miss it!

Black And White Art Show!

Come to the reception for the Broward Art Guild Black & White Art Show, Saturday August 3rd from 630p - 9p! If you can't make it on Saturday, the exhibit runs from July 31st through August 16th.

I'm thrilled to be a part of this show, featuring two of my favorite photographs: Alegría Mexicana and Tanto Amor IV. Check out the video for a preview of Alegría Mexicana!

A big thank you to Medge Jaspan for putting this video together for me, and she and her art are another great reason for you to visit the gallery! Check out her Insta and her art on display at Broward Art Guild!
