Being a fan of the color red, the hue inevitably shows up frequently in my work ...  so when I heard about the Ruby, Ruby ... All Things Red show at Valley Art Center in Chagrin Falls,  I decided to search through my available pieces for something appropriately red.

My Friend, Chris, who also had work juried into the show was kind enough to snap some photos  at the  Opening. Reception. I, unfortunately,  was unable to attend the Opening but look forward to catching the show later .

Visiting an Art Museum is always  uplifting and energizing for me.    I come away renewed, reflective, and inspired to push a few of my creative boundaries. 


 









The High Museum in Atlanta is a gem in my book as is its current show, "Picasso to Warhol", featuring 14 notorius boundary pushers.
