New Gallery Space On Inspiration Avenue
Today I took a trunkful of my work to The Decatur Gallery and Market, hoping they would want to represent me. This is one of my new paintings, called "First Light." It's an 18" X 20" mixed media piece that I finished yesterday.
I met with Patrick Dennis, the owner, and I was thrilled that he was kind enough to invite me to join the gallery. The Decatur Market & Gallery is co-operative venue for emerging artists and artisans of Georgia. It's located in the former Boswell Gallery space at 153 Ponce de Leon Place, Decatur and is staffed by the artists themselves. The Gallery showcases modern abstract paintings, landscapes, mixed media, jewelry, pottery and textiles.

My paintings will go in on July 1, and there will be a reception on July 10 from 5-9 p.m. So, if you're in the area, please drop by and see my new work there.
