No.... it is not NEW news….It is old news! And yes Leesburg is just a small town….but it was the first time that my whole body of work was displayed in one place…besides in a 10’ x 10’ tent outside. After all the years of being the featured artist at gallery shows and outdoor art festival, it was the first time I was the ONLY artist exhibited. It was overwhelming! And I can remember being absolutely panicked after saying yes I would do it….without thinking through the title of the show…”Pairings”…it was the wine and dinner pairings fundraiser for the art center. They had seen a few of my food still lives, but that was it…a few. The rest of the work was all over the place subject wise. How was I going to make this show about pairings??? That is the week I came up with “pairing” art with music, via a mini MP3 player and headsets….mounted by the works giving people a glimpse into the music that inspired that piece. It worked! When this popped up on the FB feed this morning it filled me with memories and it made me smile. It reminded me of how wonderful it feels to do it different how good it felt to break the rules!
