Tails, Trails and Tales

My Mom is an artist, and I am a photographer, so when an opportunity came up last fall to host a dual exhibit in downtown Sheridan, we took it.

We had an artists' reception March 8. Once I got over the awkward factor of 80-some people turning out to check out our work (I tend to shy away from the spotlight), I quite enjoyed myself. In fact, having so many friends, co-workers, and strangers support me and my Mom in our creative endeavors filled me to overflowing with warm, fuzzy, I'm loved feelings. So a big THANK YOU to all who came to our show (including several who drove several hours to make it) and to all who purchased our work! I hope our paintings and photographs brought a little cheer to all who passed through the gallery.

With no further ado, here are a few photos of the big event:

Some of my work...and our local Boot Barn...

More of my work...

My Mom does mostly mixed media with watercolor and pastel. This is some of her wall at the show.

Our friends Bev and Lindsey came over the mountains from Cody to see our show! Sure was good to see them!

My Mom at our Artists' Reception. Such a lovely, talented woman. 


My Dad and some of his students provided live music for the reception.

Friends who turned out to support us. Thanks, friends!

Me and my Mom and Dad.



More friends! I'm so blessed.

I like this post. It makes you seem even more human and less virtual. :)

Also, I'd love to see some close-ups of your work!

Kat! I love your comment because I've had the same thought before. I sometimes have to remind myself that we've never actually met :). Not in real human form, anyway. Just the other day I was telling someone that I have a friend who lives in Bosnia who I'd love to visit someday. They asked how we met, and I had to explain that, well, technically...

I wish I had taken photos of my work all framed up because the frames were a big part of the presentation (most were handmade or spiffed up thrift store finds), but I could email you just the photos, if you'd like.
