An exciting event for me in June 2024 was the exhibition of my JARS collection, "What Lies Within," and some paintings, at the Maiden Lane Gallery of the YWCA in uptown Kingston. The show was curated by Melanie Delgado @melaniedelgado.art, an excellent abstract artist and friend, (pictured with me at right; below if you're on mobile)
I'd worked on the JARS over a two year period and then stored them away. So I was thrilled to take them out and put them on display!
The opening was splendid! Friends and visitors expressed delight at this strange new art form that I created. Words like 'joyful, fun, and whimsical' were overheard. Visitors were curious and intrigued; they asked great questions and extended compliments to me. Happily, "Tiny Dancer" and "Xingyun" were sold and went off to good homes!
(Yes, all the jars have names.)
