the opening


Our exhibition opening was a great success!  Whew!  *laughs*

Many thanks to Rachel Bouchard, gallery owner, who curated the exhibition beautifully, and to Amy Dryer.  Amy and I are both very prolific artists so Rachel had a lot of choice in what to show.  As you can see from the photos below, she created a wonderful flow of shape and colour throughout the gallery.

The response to my Multiples was very positive, and a couple of pieces even sold during the opening.  Amy's work was also very well received.  All in all we had a great afternoon.

We stayed overnight in Edmonton, and this is what I saw first thing the morning after the opening:


A lovely sight after a very positive public reaction to my new works.

Really like the asymmetric setting of the 12 piece multiples group! Congratulations on the show - hope it goes well for both you n' Amy.

Thank you Russell! Yes, Rachel did an amazing job arranging the exhibition, and I especially loved the way she handled "Spin, Drift, Pool, Settle" (those blue pieces). There are 20 pieces in that suite, but they don't necessarily need to all go together.

I am so fortunate to be showing with the Front Gallery, Rachel is truly a wonderful person as well as having a great eye for artwork.
