Mixed Bag Exhibit at Green Lantern

 

My second solo show at Green Lantern Studios opened on April 5th, Gallery Night in Mineral Point.

I had upwards of 50 pieces in the show, counting jewelry and matted pieces in sleeves. It was truly a "mixed bag" - some new work but also some older pieces not previously displayed since my Fall Art Tour days. And I did some reworking of old pieces that I did not previously like, but now do. Yeah!

Once again Richard did a stellar job of hanging the show - he always makes everything look so good. 

The reception was well attended and I had a blast.
