Summer Showings

Having work featured in three shows this summer has been very exciting. Several prints were featured in the SWFL Lives! annual group show at Howl gallery in Fort Myers during July, and one in the 25th Annual All Florida Juried Exhibition at the Alliance for the Arts from June to August. One of my latest prints was featured in the Road Trip Members Exhibit, also at the Alliance of the Arts, during the month of August.

I do not think I would have been able to make the leap to applying to show my work in the gallery circuit had I not opened the etsy shop. The shop has been a tangible reinforcer that has helped me to sustain creating art. I have not had many sales on Etsy, but it has been an effective tool for sharing the work that I am doing with the world. A piece of art is never really complete until it has been shared and viewed by others. I am thankful for all of these opportunities and I am looking forward to what Fall and Winter may bring.
