A Valentine's Show


A most amazing thing happened last week...a well-known Pasadena retailer and gallery, The Folk Tree,  accepted my work for an upcoming art show entitled, Hearts and Flowers  XXII!   Stomach rumbles, negative brain chatter and sweaty palms occupied my drive to Pasadena.   How could they possibly think my paintings were "painterly" enough to be included among their more well known and long featured artists?  Perhaps they wanted them to fill in some holes or maybe someone had become ill and couldn't complete promised work.  Trying to be professional and unable to think clearly, Gail, the curator,  helped me fill out the necessary paper work.  Dancing out of the store, I felt affirmed, alive, and  hopeful. THEY LIKED IT!  
Come see this exciting, fanciful, group show!  It showcases all media, including jewelry, and featuring 20 artists. The show opens January 24th and closes February 21st. Join us for a Valentine Party opening, Saturday, January 24th from 2-6 p.m. at The Folk Tree, 217 S. Fair Oaks Ave. , Pasadena, California.
