Video Version of Collaborative / 34 Show !

This beautifully filmed video captures the spirit and essence of our Collaborative / 34 show at Muse Gallery, as well as the art itself.  It fully embodies the show! Watch it and enjoy the unique concept unfold.  As one artist says, "it was not so much about each individual artist, as about how we work together..."  When you watch, you become part of the many people taking in this amazing installation.  Enjoy!  In some respects you will see more of the art than if you had been in the press of people that obscured the view.

I didn't know until I watched the video that Muse Gallery had been founded years ago by two women from the Women's Caucus for Art.  Considering how many years I was a member of the San Diego Women's Caucus for Art Chapter, and how much they have influenced my career as an artist, it felt like 'full circle'!

A Reception so successful you could hardly see the art!

The art was almost obscured by the wall-to-wall people at our Artists' Reception last Sunday at MUSE Gallery.  People had to be displaced to push the door open.  At the same time, people were leaking out the door on to the sidewalk just to breathe.  I'm told it was like that the whole afternoon.  I didn't stay long.... claustrophobia got to me.  But I'm glad I was there, if only to witness the phenomenon. Fortunately I had seen the art previously at the Opening party.  It was hard to see at the reception.  Hopefully the reviewer from the Philadelphia Inquirer did see it.  And the videographer was there before the crowds converged.  I'll post the YouTube video once it is up!

My four monotypes are in the vertical row:  two purple on top, then green with red circle, and black and white on the bottom.  For all the shows I have been in, this is the first time I have shown completely abstract work.  I'm enjoying the new direction!
