ART ON THE WALLS

 
 
 
 


Spent Saturday at ArtWorks Around Town hanging my work for the show opening on Friday, November 6. I always feel so amazed to see my work out of the dark basement where it's made & stored and on walls under nice lighting. Wow!

I visitor to the gallery looked at the work after it was hung and asked, "How many artists are represented here?" "Just me, so far," I replied. Her comment made me laught, first because I was pleased that someone noticed the different media I work in; and second because I must be schizophrenic--the many faces of Cheryl!

The opening reception is November 6 from 5-8. If you are near Wheeling, please come. The show will hang through the month.

Somebody once said that people become artists
because they have a certain kind of energy to release, and that rings true to me.
