Art Shows Featuring Work From The Collection
Having a show, my very first, to not only launch my creative passion but to also gauge the public's response to seeing me in a new way, created a sensation of fear and exhilaration.
The show introducing the "Worlds within Worlds" Collection, was just that. I exhibited in a friend's studio space in downtown Sarasota, with 30 11x14 framed metallic prints under glass, and 5 30x36 framed ones. I advertised extensively, had it catered, offered Valet since I knew it would be stormy, and then thoroughly enjoyed a great evening, with sales. I loved every minute of it and felt so much gratitude for all the help, support and positive responses, as that meant I had something viable and could afford to keep going.
I then had two shows at Design Services Sarasota which were a great opportunity to test out what I was experimenting with: printing on large metal sheets (recycled aluminum), and printing on canvas. They were exciting shows as I was combining the introduction of the metal, which has a very contemporary look, with my latest work from a trip to Tokyo and new work featuring some pieces from Sarasota, as people had been asking! I was realizing more and more, that as people were considering pieces they often chose images from their favorite places.
Subsequently I then showed in Atlanta at AmericasMart with my own booth and have also been featured in the North Carolina High Point Market showrooms at Wesley Hall.
As I continued the evolution of my experimentation with different surfaces, I had a pop-up event at Paint Nail Bar Sarasota and a show at the Sarasota Orchestra's Harmony Gallery, where I introduced metallic canvas. With it’s shimmery, pearly finish I featured specific images from recent travels to New York for the holiday windows and the abstract Pucci images I had taken in Palm Beach. I also introduced Worlds within Worlds Art meets Fashion, with images from the Collection printed and then stitched to the backs of jackets, creating a very unique fashion statement.
I currently am featured in Sarasota with Alex At International and with Rosenbaum Fine Art, in Boca Raton.
