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!

Quickie Post!

There's nothing like the feeling of seeing my photography in a gallery setting. I don't think it'll ever get old. Come see it for yourself! Need details? Check out my last post!

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!

This weekend I submitted two new images to the Broward Art Guild for consideration for an upcoming exhibit and I could really use some good vibes, so send some my way (or direct them at the judges, who will be selecting the art for the show)! For now, only my Patreon patrons can access the sneak peek at the images submitted. If you'd like access to exclusive content like that, consider becoming a patron! It's quick, easy, and for as little as $1 per month you'd be helping an artist reach her goal of improving her art with more classes and upgraded equipment!
