The Opening.
Short and simple: The opening was fabulous. I can’t believe how many people showed up. The turnout was amazing. I spent the entire evening talking to people yet I feel like I barely got to really spend any time with anyone. But I suppose that’s normal as openings go. Luckily Kasia and Kelly were there and Kelly spent the entire evening taking photos, so at least I have these photos to show you folks!
It was truly a great evening. And I'm not just saying that because En Foco gave me a big fat check. All of my friends came, and they brought their friends, and even a few friends that I didn’t expect made appearances. Two artists Terry Boddie and Tricia McLaughlin who also graduated from the Hunter College MFA program showed up and later two old pals, Jay and Ben, that I hadn’t seen in nearly 10 years made a surprise appearance. Shocking and delicious all at the same time!
The day after the opening (with a bit of help from the makers of Xanax) I managed to give a decent artist’s talk without sounding completely insane.
I think I succeeded in talking about the work intelligently and explaining what it is I do. Lots of people had really good questions and were really interested in the work and the narratives I was constructing.
Everything was just too awesome. What can I say? My cup runneth over.

A week ago I just happened to stumble across your blog while searching various sites. The name of your blog is what caught my eye. After reading ,I am hooked! Your passion for your work really comes through. So beautiful and natural with a spiritual emotion. Where can one view more of your work and purchase? So happy the opening was a success!
