I'm so happy to once again be a part of this wonderful show of member and faculty work at The Art Center, Highland Park, IL. My piece, Follow Your Leader, from the previous post is currently on display. The show is really diverse and I enjoy seeing that when I walk into a gallery!
It's really hard to lose the glare on this super shiny piece when taking a photo of it!

This was a happy accident...it's one of my larger pieces and I worked on it for ages...wasn't working at all...wanted to throw it out! Suddenly, things took a positive turn and I arrived here...

It's SUCH a nice starbucks with a comfy couch and a fireplace! The wall we used to hang the art can't have nails in it so they have this wire cable system to hang the pieces. It was very tricky to get the pieces up and the configuration could be better but we did the best we could!

Here are some picture from the opening party on August 26, 2011. There was such an array of interesting work. My pieces at 7x7 inches (minus frame) was probably the smallest painting there!

The cherry on top was winning 3rd place in the Encaustic category! I was so touched to have my great friends share in this experience with me on the night we were celebrating my birthday as well. Beautiful night!
