In Artocovery

Whew! I'm in the post opening let down phase. The opening was great. More than 1200 people came. I was gratified and honored by the wonderful turnout. I was not surprised about the power of media though. Only 3 minutes on TV and people all over town would come up and say, "oh, you're the artist lady." Of course, I do have lavender hair...

In the meantime, I took two true fishing days and am now anxious to get back into the studio.

Today's the Day!

Susan Shaw: Moving Violations opens at the ACA! I am really excited. Nothing like four years of work distilled into a single entity.

They've even given me some additional space. A presence in the lobby of some additional works that didn't make it into the show. They won't be up long since the walls of the lobby will soon change shape as they open parts of the amazing expansion that the ACA is doing.

I am riding on a cloud. Louisiana seems to provide the substance that is usually only dreams. In just one day, the ACA put up a building banner of my work, I went out on Lake Martin and I got to twirl a hankie and dance a second line with the guys in the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. Life doesn't get much better than this. See you at the opening. Remember it's 6-8pm tonight as part of Artwalk and it's free!
