Art Show Part Three

My art show opening was such a wonderful experience! It was great to see my friends, family & co-workers who were able to come out & support me. It was fun to meet new people, & talk to a fellow artist about our work. Thank you!

Teri McCan's black & white watercolor canvases are stunning

If you were unable to come to the opening, the show is up until Friday, August 5, 2016. If you play Pokemon Go!, LARAC is a Pokemon Gym. Stop in. See some art. Catch some Pokemon. Have a battle. It's free. The image below is from Advokate, LLC organizer of this past weekend's Pokemon Go!/ Glens Falls Art Trail event.

Art Show: Part Two Point Five

Today is the day! Opening reception is tonight (July 8, 2016) from 5:00-7:00 PM at LARAC. I can't tell you how excited & nervous I am.

I found while getting ready for this show, that framing, hanging, mounting et al is... difficult. Especially when working with something like embroidery which is, usually, displayed a different way. That has been my biggest learning curve while transitioning from crafter to artist.

Getting ready to drop off pieces for my art show. I had to buy an iron. Lol #environmentalportraits #embroideredportrait #idabwells #artshow #embroidery #handembroidery #redwork

Being that I am the local one in this show, I have been trying to drum up as much support as possible. I have been very active on social media...

My first art show opens this Friday. If you happen to be in the Glens Falls, NY area, stop in! Opening reception is July 8th 5-7 pm. Show runs July 8th through August 5th. #environmentalportraits #embroideredportrait #embroidery #handembroidery #redwork #whatisart #laphamgallery #LARAC #GlensFallsNY #artexhibit
