IT HAPPENED: now showing in Ranchos de Taos



A FIRST: walking into a space and seeing work I'd done on the walls.

The precious little platinum images on vellum glowing in the corner from the gold leaf backing.


The long line of the silver gelatin prints.




Supportive friends.
Caterina Giglio and I have shared blogging for a couple of years and finally met...her work part of the show as well. . .and my good friend Renee, the most encouraging art pal ever...we've shared five summer workshops  at Mabel's, Studio in the Sky with Sas Colby. . .and a blog.


The show is called Four Directions, Four Visions. Once, I was like a 'rolling stone' with 'no direction home'. Not so today as I am firmly rooted right here in Michigan.  I am fortunate to have been able to share the Two Graces space for its last show at this site with owner Robert Cafazzo, Caterina Giglio, and Vicki VanAmeyden.  .  .
GRACE and GRATITUDE

MY 'STATEMENT' 
for the show is at the top of my sidebar.

    Hi Neva - wow! What an honor and how special to see your work brought to life after all these years. What a great winter you must have had playing alchemist! I wish I could see every single one of them up close. I will look for them when I'm there for Sas's class. We'll miss you this year! Congratulations! Much love - "Paloma"

    Congratulations on this wonderful exhibit- and to be there with artists that you so admire and who have been so generous with you is an even greater gift. Cheers and so well deserved!

    I'm thinking, here in the square state, that maybe, perhaps, you could post some photos of the mitten state. Surely you've had a camera in your hand recently? I hope. xox

    Neva -- Just catching up with fellow bloggers and am in awe of your works! Congratulations and hoping to see more as the summer winds down and we head inside (have tried to stay off the computer these past weeks!) --
