'Scapes',the beautiful, group exhibit opened last night at the Whitney Center for the Arts.
I'd attended several events there before, but this was different. First of all, these were my
paintings, (and six other artists' pieces) hanging on the long walls.
The curator, Leo Mazzeo did an amazing job of hanging the work in the
spacious gallery. The work was grouped by color and imagery with some
pairings that were surprising and complementary to each other. The result
was a beautiful, cohesive, exploration of landscapes that were anything
but traditional.
Both
Leo and Ghazi Kazmi, the Executive Director, set the tone for a lively,
joyous, party atmosphere. We had a steady flow of old and new friends.
For many the Whit is a regular stop on the monthly Artswalk.
I'm grateful to all who came to support me. It was a wonderful turn out. I enjoyed meeting the other artists and am proud to have my work hanging alongside theirs.
