Reception for “A Touch of Red”
Last night was the artist reception for “A Touch of Red” at Artspace Herndon in Herndon, VA. The juried show includes about 50 works of art by 28 artists from Great Falls Studios. Great Falls Studios has about 100 members who work in a wide variety of media, so we chose a theme for the…
Making Sense of Show Entries
I don’t have any new work to show because I’ve spent the last few days going through the list of shows I’d like to enter and going over my inventory of quilts to see what I want to enter where. It’s surprising how much time all that takes. The first entry was due this week…
