Thank you so much for the support you’ve given these last twenty months while I shared my progress on this exhibition. This open studio approach was a new situation for me and I worried that I might make decisions to please an audience that was watching over my shoulder. Whether that happened unknowingly, I can’t be sure; what I am sure of is that I produced much more than I had originally envisioned, because you pushed me and I am forever grateful. Secluded in the studio, I thought art to be a solitary act; it is not; it is artist and audience.
I do hope you will be able to visit the Delaplaine Center and see this exhibit.
