“Birds of a Feather”

February 24, 2009

Mosaic4978804

My show at Young Blood Gallery in Atlanta with the amazing David Hale opens next week on Saturday night, March 7. 

March-flyer

I will be there and if you are in the area, I hope you will, too.  I'd love to meet you.  I have made 17 original soft sculpture birds for this show, my most cohesive collection yet.  All of them will be for sale through the gallery. More information to follow next week.  I will also have cards featuring photos of eight of the birds for sale on my Etsy shop beginning the Thursday before the opening.  

As the time draws nearer I'm getting more and more excited and nervous.  This is certainly the biggest exhibition of my soft sculptures as of yet and David's paintings are so incredible (check out this one!).  And the icing on the cake is a trip all by myself to Atlanta.  An airplane ride free of lollipops and coloring books.  Car trips with no car seats to buckle.  And the freedom to come and go as I please.  This will be longest I have been alone in nearly five years.
