Transformations opening reception at aBuzz Gallery

Friday night was the opening reception of my show, Transformations, at aBuzz Gallery in the RINO arts district of Denver.  After months of work completing the most recent piece, mounting the work on stretched canvas and getting ready with all the endless details, it was really exciting to finally see the whole group of art works on the walls.  Many thanks are due to aBuzz Gallery owner, artist and marketing expert, Carol Ann Waugh, for shepherding me through the process.  Here are a few installation shots.

A few weeks ago I was surprised, thrilled and delighted to be contacted by Bill Gardner, Editor-In-Chief of Quilters Newsletter, about a video interview with them.  Bill and his videographer, Brian, were at the opening to shoot footage.  (Check back for more about that process as time goes on.)

It was a great evening with a chance to connect with old friends and visit with newer ones.  I really appreciated all the people who turned out for the event.

Ted Potter, a local jazz guitarist, whom I’d heard play at another opening, really enhanced the evening with his intriguing, captivating playing.  Hope to hear him again in the future.

Only regret was no photo of my friend, Janet Kuczmarski, my right hand for the evening, because she was behind the camera.  Neighbors and friends, Paula and Michael Frease, helped out by serving drinks.

Three events are still to come:  First Friday, Dec. 6, 6-9 PM, Artist Talk, Dec. 7, 3-4PM, and Closing Reception, Dec. 14, 12-5PM.  If you're in the area, please stop by.
