Tate Shaw and Kristen Merola at VSW did such an amazing job with the installation of this show—I was blown away when I walked in on Friday night and saw it for the first time. I do believe this is my first solo show!

Thanks to everyone who came out—it was great to see familiar faces and to meet new ones. (and thanks, Deirdre, for remembering your camera!)

And (gulp) the weather wasn’t even that bad.

    Oh, I wish I could go to the opening. Maybe I’ll be able to take a road trip up there before it closes. Best of luck!
