Yes, I may look totally relaxed, but it’s all for show.
Truth be told, things are busy, productive and the dust is flying! We have been completing the final preparations for my Art Opening at the Preview Party for Mainstay on May 22nd. It is being held prior to the performance of “Chicago” at the Flat Rock Playhouse and is also open during intermission to all who attend the play.
It’s an exciting experience to be involved with Mainstay and the Flat Rock Playhouse. During the theater’s run of Chicago, from May 18 to June 12, 25% of all sales of my work will go to Mainstay, an organization that helps victims of domestic violence in Henderson County. What better way to celebrate my first solo exhibit than to give back to the community?
Speaking of giving, my husband Greg has been hard at work completing the fine art displays and framing art work. (He even put out a tiny little fire I accidentally started in his workshop…*see reference to “flaming enthusiasm” below). Shout out to Greg: thanks for your tireless work to support my goals and dreams. You are the guy who knows how to get the job done!
Erica Allison of Allison Development Group has been leading me every step of the way. From branding to selling my art, Erica has been consistently innovative and creative. She is an incredible resource to guide any organization to where they want to be.
Isn’t it amazing how many individuals can come together to achieve a goal? I love this quote by Dale Carnegie:
“Flaming enthusiasm, backed up by horse sense and persistence, is the quality that most frequently makes for success.”
- Flaming enthusiasm=me (*occasionally, literally flaming)
- Horse sense=Greg
- Persistence=Erica
Those are all compliments, by the way. Five days until the big Art Opening! We will be ready and I can’t wait.
