I was away all of last week on my trip to Newfoundland! I’ll share some photos from my trip in the coming days but wanted to first share some photos from my the exhibit that I opened while I was there.
With two children in tow and a suitcase full of art, I headed off on Saturday, October 24th. On the Monday we did the set up for the exhibit. It was really fun to finally unwrap it all and figure out what order I wanted to hang everything in.
I had all of the white walls to fill and had the option to use some of the wood panelled walls but I decided to keep it all to the white walls. Art stands out so much better on a nice white wall. In the end I have 22 pieces in the exhibit. Some are my small “Postcards from Newfoundland” pieces and some are a bit larger.
I brought along a few of the brochures that I had at my last exhibit here in Ottawa so that people could see some of the other work that I do that I don’t usually get to exhibit in Newfoundland.
After we had finished setting it all up, the venue adjusted that lighting. The lighting is great- each piece is in the spotlight and all of the sparkly yarns that I use really shine.
This past Saturday was the Opening Reception. The Harbour Grounds coffee shop donated coffee for the event and I also purchased a tray of their goodies. We even had some Halloween candy on hand. 
It was so nice to meet some people that I had only met online and to hear a lot of really nice comments about my work.
We are home now but the exhibit will continue at the Corner Brook Arts and Culture Centre until November 21st!
