 You know, I grew up with black and white photography. Color was great, but still, you know, I started, a lot of my graphic work was in black and white and there's something old looking about it. But here you see the variety is incredible and that's what got me right off was the amount of depth in the show and the huge variety from one piece to another. In our main floor gallery, we're showing it's black and white. It's an exhibit that involves more than 30 local artists and the color palette is very dynamic because it's solely blacks and whites. Well, color definitely is my passion. So to not use the yellows and the reds and the blues was limiting, but not for too long. And I went back to my studio and got my blacks out and my whites out. All blacks are not created equal. Some of them were blue or some of them were browner and I saw that there's a whole lot of tones between black and white, so it was fun. In the second floor gallery, we have our 2014 silent auction to benefit Studio Place Arts programs. Bidding starts now and concludes at our bash scheduled for May 9th from 7 to 9 p.m. On our third floor gallery, we're showing a fiber arts exhibit assembled by 14 members of the Surface Design Association. It's called Tangents, Fiber Diversified. Love to do is find unusual fabric and then honor it in my work. What I'm really interested in is the play of light, the beauty of the colors. Art can be a haven or a refuge and that's one very, very important aspect for me. Even when I'm in a beautiful place, I still need to feel that I can take it with me, keep it a little longer. Our bash, The Big Artie Spa Happening is scheduled for Friday, May 9th from 7 to 9. We hope you'll attend, call us soon and get tickets to the bash. Studio Place Arts is located at 201 North Main Street in Berry, Vermont. Our website is www.studioplacearts.com. We look forward to seeing you soon.
