Hopping into Spring 2023!
This year has flown by already. It seems things are back to warp speed and life is feeling very full. My cup runneth over! I am feeling super inspired to create new series these days in metal leaf collage. (Please see added to works recently.)
I am thankful for the recent exhibit at the Mint Museum featuring Picasso and Charlotte's own Romare Bearden. I went the first day it arrived and was also fortunate to be a volunteer yesterday with other members of the Mint Museum Auxiliary. We had the privilege of randomly selecting attendees on community day to win a free membership to the Mint, Picasso books, and other door prizes. Saturday was community day to celebrate 50 years since Picasso's passing and open to the public. Experiencing the looks on peoples faces after returning from the exhibit was priceless and then, if they won an unexpected prize, I couldn't help, but giggle at their surprise. We were checking coats and many, many umbrellas, but I couldn't believe how much fun had interacting with the community at this special event!
If you attended the Dilworth Artisan Station on Friday night, I had a ball meeting you and am always thankful for our returning visitors and customers. Remember, the studio is open during the week by appointment and all work is available through the website. Mark your calendars for every First Friday at the Dilworth Artisan Station!
Also on the horizons is the Charlotte Country Day Fundraiser in Hance Gallery on April 20-22, 2023. Fifty Percent of the proceeds go to CCDS. You don't want to miss this event!
Lastly, if you are a member of the Guild of Charlotte Artists or thinking of joining, come listen to Sybil Godwin, owner of Shain Gallery, speak to the artists about gallery representation on April 26, 2023 at 6:30pm in The Mint Museum Randolph.
As always, I am thankful you are here! If you are new, welcome! I have recently made some changes to the website. Take a look around and buy that painting if it speaks to you. Life is short; surround yourself with things you love!
Peace and love,
Courtney
