Exhibitions

First Friday is a reoccurring community event that helps make Raleigh, NC a vibrant city.  The first Friday of every month is a city wide art walk.  All the galleries stay open late and have receptions.  There's food truck, street parties, wine and the city is buzzing with activity and socializing, particularly when the weathers nice.  It's one of the things that make me love where I live.  It seems like everyone participates.  Art museums, galleries, cafés and businesses with rotating artist, cart collectives, street artist, voyeurs, exhibitionists ...everyone. 

I happen to be a rotating artist right now.  Since February, some of my work as been hanging at Makena Skin Care's space.  Basically, Kathleen Makena shares a building with a few lawyers, a massage therapist and a yoga studio. On First Friday, they put a flag out on the sidewalk, open all their doors and have a party, each one hosting an artist.  It's great.  Just hanging out, sipping wine and chatting as friends and neighbors come in and out.   The space is intimate and Kathleen is a sweet, upbeat host.

The two largest paintings are sold, so I'm changing them out for new ones for their first public appearance.  I'll be there April 4th from 6 to 9.  Stop in  for some wine and mingling.  304 Glenwood Ave., Raleigh, NC.  Plus if you book a facial on First Friday, you get $10 off.

The 2 sold painting were part of a house show in Durham last year.  For the Old North Block Party, a neighbor curated a local artist group show in her home.  Looking forward to more shows in 2014!
