Opening Night Wrap Up

Here, in no particular order some photos from last night. In the main gallery are many large sculptures from Janet Geib-Pretti using bronze and wood, an amazing body of work.

Outside greeting you when you arrived, was an Altar put together by Cynthia Mooney. Many candles, marigold flowers, bread, nuts a beautiful reminder to honor our ancestors

Here's another view of the glow......

From left to right Tory, Dayna, Steph and Nik. I missed many pics of friends who came...

Another view from the outside looking in......lots to see!

The talented Janet Julian taking a break form singing.

She has work in the show too! (thanks Janet)

Here's Donna Guardino and painter Marcia Hindman in front of one of her many paintings, so many layers of interest, you really need to see them in person.

Here are few PAC members, who happen to have work in the show L-R

Cynthia, Tory and Gloria. Great night,

Muchos Gracias to all who came.

Day of the Dead at Guardino's

Coming Soon..... (This Thursday Oct. 28Th)!!!

Today was the hanging of art at Guardino Gallery It's always a little like Christmas, never knowing what all the artists will bring in for the show. The Challenge of putting it all together so it looks cohesive, is one of the highlights of curating. Here my found object carvings "Beloved Couple"

To start, the gallery walls are bare, my little horse is waiting to see where he'll go.....

" A little to the right". My hanging team this year, the talented Tory Brokenshire and Gloria Sowell. Both have work on display, Tory's art is that giant Santos, one of two! And Gloria's are those amazing gold encaustic pieces on top, they just glow.

Job well done, phew. Missing in this photo is Janet Julian, who is a local legend, with her "props" lol. She brought me all kinds of goodies for the front window, to make it look like little Altars. PS. She'll be preforming on opening night!!

Here's the night shot. You can see the cut wood banner I painted to match this years show card, surrounded by the traditional marigold flowers, very festive. On opening night Cynthia Mooney will help set up a Public Altar outside,with flowers and candles. All are welcome to leave a photo or note. Can't wait.

* See the show until Nov. 21st
