I am so excited for my first semi-solo exhibit coming up in less than a week! As a member of SYNC Gallery in Denver, Colorado, I will have a month-long combined exhibit with another member artist (hence “semi-solo”), and Shinee B Creation and I will get to go first! We are doing all the last-minute preparations getting ready for Beyond the Horizon, with an opening reception on Friday, January 17, 2025 from 6pm - 9pm.

Since I use oil paint, which takes a long time to dry, I set my cut-off date for creating new artwork a month ago, and I’m so glad that I did. In the past couple of weeks, I have been super busy with finishing edges, making frames, attaching hanging hardware, creating labels and wall tags, distributing my postcard announcement, and sharing updates on social media. Along with all that, my phone died, my computer died, and I was sick - all of which is, or soon will be, better. But if I was also trying to create new pieces to include in the exhibit, I would have been overwhelmed.

Tomorrow, we get to start hanging our work in the gallery. I can’t wait to see it all come together, and I look forward to sharing my work as a collection with friends, old and new, that come by to see it.
