Vince and I in my tent.

Last weekend I had the amazing opportunity to be an exhibiting artist at Panoply in downtown Huntsville. It was a thrill for me to be included and my favorite part by far was watching so many from our local community interact with my work. So many of you came out to support me and I want to thank you for that. While I was sitting under my canopy, I also got to do some people watching on the sidewalk outside. I had the loveliest neighbors on either side of me- one a stained glass artist, and the other was an amazing draftsman. There were multiple times where people would come around the sidewalk and gasp and point at either one. And there were so many who said my tent was their favorite too. I love that! I think it would be such a shame if I saw how popular the stained glass artist was and tried to do what she does or changed my medium because I thought I might tap into a different group of people. Where would the collectors go who are looking for colorful cityscapes? We are all needed- artists and patrons, collectors and creators- of all types. I’m just so in awe of the many different ways that visual media can be expressed. I hope that is what you take away from seeing my work- that art can be a tool for connection, a perspective that your view of the world is needed too.
