Opening Artist Exhibition

The four of us prior to the opening of our artists exhibition on Sunday June 1. (L-R: Mary Meehan Firtl, Erin Warner, me-Darlene Troyer and Alan Fore) We toasted the Buchanan Art Center and at the same time hoped the great wine would settled our jittery nerves before the doors opened that afternoon.








It was a beautiful warm sunny day and after the long cold winter we couldn't blame anyone for staying home, but we were pleasantly surprised and very appreciative that so many people came to share in our special day.  The art center had a steady stream from the time the doors opened till closing. 








The four of us had spent a considerable amount of time planning the food selection for our reception. I made 2 trays of sushi rolls, 2 trays of caprese appetizers and a fantastic goat cheese log rolled in cranberries and pistachio nuts to go with the yummy food that was donated by Fiddlers Hearth and the Bucktown Tap.  I guess we did a good job planning as we didn't run out of food!

It was so much fun spending the afternoon sharing with others the process of how I make my jewelry designs.   I've done lots of art shows over the last few years but this was just so different and enjoyable having people interested in the process and the mind behind the designs!  It was such an enjoyable experience and I can't thank the Buchanan Art Center for the opportunity to exhibits my line of jewelry.

I have over 100 jewelry designs on exhibit  for my show titled, "Bling it On" in the three showcases at the art center.  What a process it was for me to decide what went where , it took me hours to get it all done but it was well worth the time that it took once it was done.

I want to thank all of my family, friends and customers who came out that day to see the exhibition and to share in this special event in my life!

If you weren't able to make it to the open house reception, the show is open through July 5th so if you have the time stop on over at the Buchanan Art Center one of the volunteers will help you in any way they can.

Below are just a few of the things that I have on display in the exhibit.  All items are available for purchase in case you find that special something you just can't live without.
