Develop a unique art style and host an exhibition.

“One of my greatest joys from the experience came from watching patrons' reactions as they first encountered the towering banner inviting them into the space. They typically wore an expression of awe and delight as they began to grasp what was before them and wander around to the paintings adorning the walls. My relentless months in the studio had culminated to this moment and I took the time to let it all soak in. I felt like I could finally breathe and boy did that gallery air taste good.”

“With our arrival on Monday afternoon and the opening night slated for Friday, that meant that I had just three days to create a 15' tall banner, a size that I had never tackled. Each day I arrived at the gallery early and worked all day on the floor of the main exhibit space, glancing up every once in a while as my paintings began to cover the once vacant gray walls. Curious onlookers watched and I had the pleasure of talking to a few of them about my work.”

“Art has a special ability to reach into the depths of our souls, and seeing the breadth of feelings my artwork elicited in guests was both humbling and encouraging. From awe to peaceful contemplation, I witnessed firsthand how my pieces resonated with each individual in a unique way; I am very happy I made the decision to be at the gallery each day to witness this.”
