My 1st Art Exhibit

Happy September! This Summer,  I saw a "call for artists" announcement on Instagram from the Stay Gallery, my local art gallery. I had never entered an application for consideration before and thought I would give it a try. A few days after I submitted my application, I got an email invitation to be a part of this group art exhibit! I was so surprised and overwhelmed with joy. 

Opening night is tomorrow Friday, September 10th and will run until Friday, October 15th. Isn't this so cool?  After weeks of preparing and waiting, the moment is finally here.



I submitted my art entitled "Field of Rest." Here is a video about this art. Video Link Here

Last Saturday, I took my art to the gallery for drop off day and boy was I excited. I got to meet the gallery's organizer and director as well as some of the other artists. This is a small city funded gallery but they host excellent exhibits and events.

I am so grateful I was selected to share my art story for over a month. This just warms my heart to know that lots of visitors will see my work and hopefully be inspired. 

This opportunity is a dream come true! In 2014, I attended one of their art shows. That night I recalled thinking, "I want to be a featured artist here one day." That day is here! Wow!  Stay Gallery Visit 2014 Blog Post

My husband and I are thrilled to attend the opening tomorrow night. I will do another post and YouTube video sharing all the joy soon. Stay tuned!

New Art Collection & Video

Today, I am thrilled to share with you my new art collection called "Inspired Blooms." These 16 painting were made this year, 2024. Last April, we attended a fantastic floral exhibit at South Coast Plaza Mall and I was so inspired. Shortly after this show, I sat down at my art table and starting creating my floral joys.  In this video you will see the Inspired Garden Girls, a portrait and 12 floral arrangements. Check out the video.  Video Link Here Painting these flowers these last four months has filled my heart with such comfort and joy. I hope these happy "Inspired Blooms" bring a smile to your face and peace to your heart like I experienced. Feel free to share this video with a friend, too. Let's spread the flower power! :)
