A Sneak Peek

 

Wow! What a whirlwind getting ready for Personal Structures, the 7th Biennial exhibition by the European Cultural Center in Venice. It opens April 20th!

 
 

Arriving in Venice

I was relieved that all of my artwork made it safely to France from my Portland studio. In France, I made sure the canvases stretched properly on their new stretcher bars, then rolled them up and drove them to Venice. It was a fantastic drive over the Alps! Then, I arrived at one of the most beautiful cities in the world!

INstallation

What a fantastic time I had in Venice for the Installation! The European Cultural Center (ECC) has a great community of people, and I thoroughly enjoyed working with these two installers. We re-stretched my paintings and now they are installed in their new home for the next 8 months. It’s a lovely space! I couldn’t be more thrilled.

Installation day - I had a blast!

I am looking forward to going back to Venice for my opening night on April 19th. The show officially opens on April 20th and runs through November 24th, 2024.
