Editor’s Perspective: Emerging From the Cave

Earlier this year, I agreed to do a large art exhibit in May 2013 at the IONA Senior Service Center in Washington, DC. A few weeks later, the date was bumped up to May 2012, and I anxiously accepted the challenge.

For most of the year, I was immersed in a monumental juggling act pulling together all the pieces for the show…finishing art work, identifying pieces to show, scanning images, framing, etc., etc., etc.

I’ve done many exhibitions, but this is the largest of my career. It’s a retrospective from 1980 to 2012 and includes 77 oil paintings, mixed media, and hand-sewn textile montage masks.

All the hard work culminated on Mother’s Day when my daughter and grandchildren came over for brunch and spent the afternoon wrapping my artwork for pickup the following day. Tasked with inputting the inventory list on my laptop, I could hardly keep up with their youthful teamwork.

Although it was sad seeing my babies go out the door, it was a relief knowing the hardest part was out the way. The show opened May 16 and will close September 5, 2012.

I can now exhale, recharge, and God be willing resume interviewing shortly.

In the meantime, I hope you will…
