CGMS Runway-Inspired Show!

I love showing my work.  It really gives me a positive feeling to share what I love to do with others.  But you know what feels even better?  Sharing that feeling with other artists!  I mean, I have helped to set up shows before but this was the first time my name was officially listed curating a show. 

A little back story on how this came to be.  Joyce mentioned in June that she wanted to have this fashion-themed show and she was listing me as the contact person- it was gonna be my thing.  I said, 'sure' and then ran off into the summer abyss, not stressing about it. 

Fast forward to teacher work days, the first week of school...and me setting up this show!  What a whirlwind week!  I left right after school on Thursday to head over to the gallery with my own artwork, my pink tool set and a step ladder and left three hours a sweaty mess- but happy with the show that I had installed.  My goal was to create as many vignettes that would showcase the art by each artist, show off the work as best I could, and also encourage the viewer to approach the work and connect with it.  

Anyway,  I am really happy with how the show came out and here are some pics!

Thursday- the view of the show after I set it up.

Opening night view- Joyce had some additional pieces from gallery artists...of course they were jewelry- my weakness!

...and of course I was able to show some of my fashion illustrations!  I selected shoe paintings from my June 2018 series and fashion illustrations based off Vintage Vogue covers from my September 2017 series.

​Thanks for thinking of me for this show, Joyce! 

Love you!
