celebrating four years of hard work
that will culminate during the November opening reception
at West End Gallery 

We moved to the finger lakes region during the summer of 2007 and almost immediately I found West End Gallery located on the dreamy quaint and bustling Market Street of Corning, New York. As I walked in, it was such a stunning space that I decided my dream was to one day have the honor of hanging my work there.

After presenting  paintings to director Linda Gardner a few times with a promising yet cautious response, attending opening receptions as I could, and stopping by with friends to enjoy the gorgeous art and say hello, this fall I have been accepted as one of West End’s represented artists, and I am currently preparing twelve paintings that will be in their holiday exhibition opening on November 18th.

This dream has at times felt out of reach as I stopped painting for almost two years during and after pregnancy and found it near impossible to keep up the art while being a new Mommy. But every spring and fall I found myself at some point on Market Street yet again drawn to it’s historic and inspiring beauty which led me right back into West End where I again found inspiration to keep the dream alive and achievable.
