My daughters made this photograph of me as we walked into the gallery together to see my exhibition for the first time.

Nothing could have been better than sharing this moment with my daughters! I was so delighted to view my exhibit, gorgeously curated by Emma Wilson, long-time Portland Art Gallery director.

I hope to see you at the opening or send me an email with dates and times you’d like to visit and I’ll meet you there!

Here’s a glimpse at all 7 pieces gracing these spacious and bright gallery walls every day in November:
