For those of you readers in the Lower Mainland, I thought I'd let you know that I currently have ten pieces hanging up in the Main Richmond Library in the rotunda. There are very few spaces to show artwork in Richmond and when I had originally applied to show they told me that earliest I could get was April of 2011. Okay....... As it turns out, a space came available this year and I jumped at it.
The consists of ten original monotypes that have been hand-colored with chalk pastels. I chose a set of landscapes and moon images that I have been working on. The set looks really cohesive and shows quite well on the deeply colored walls. I'm always happy to get the chance to show in a public space because my work needs to be seen in person and up-close to really be appreciated. Something is lost in the scale and the record of my hand when my pieces are shown online. I guess that can be said about most original artwork.
The show will be on for a very short time so take a peek at it if you get the chance. The show runs April 1-15 and the library is closed on Monday April 5th.
Wow! The library is stunning!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! Congrats to you! Well deserved...
ReplyDeleteI've never been in there before, but it looks like a really lovely space. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!
ReplyDeleteWow, congrats! I've never been to that library - is that near Richmond Centre? I spend my summers living with my mom near Ironwood, but I will definitely have to visit that branch when I get there! It's amazing how many things are in your own city that you don't even know about!
