Welcome to Golden, CO! Pictures from Evolutions Show Opening

Street Fair in downtown Golden, CO

One of the perks of having my brother Paul, a professional photographer, in town for the opening of the Evolutions show at RMQM in Golden, CO last friday night is that I get some fun photographs to post to my blog.

Yep, that’s me in front of my “Wall Drawing #1” textile painting at the show.

The opening was well attended, in part because of the beautiful weather and raucous Street Fair that was in full swing right outside the front entrance to the museum. Who knew what a happening place Golden is? It was lively last Friday night!

And the show was pretty impressive. After seeing the full show, I felt good about my work being included along with that of the 15 other artists involved and also happy that my piece was very different from the others – I think it stood out effectively.  (The museum doesn’t allow photographing of the work, so that’s why all the photos pretty much only show my piece, but you can see some of the museum’s permanent collection of quilts on display along the wall facing my piece.)

It was my first visit to RMQM. The gallery space is really nice and about 2/3 of it was devoted to the Evolutions show and then some nice quilts from the museum’s permanent collection filled the rest of the space.

Here’s a few more photos from the show.  It was really fun to have my family and friends there to support me at the opening!  Thanks everyone!
