I was teaching at
Guilford Art Center in Guilford, CT last weekend, and had the opportunity to visit
City Wide Open Studios in New Haven where my friend and student of several years,
Cathy Farrell, was exhibiting her work for the first time in quite a while. What a pleasure it was to see Cathy's work mounted, framed, given adequate wall space, and being admired by so many visitors.

Thanks for visiting! I hope you'll all consider attending your local Open Studios events, and participating if you can. It's a great way to talk with artists about their work in a relaxed environment. You won't get that at a gallery opening! And for participants it's a way to get feedback, and engage in conversation about your work.
