Hello! About a year ago I was thrilled to learn that I was one of the contenders for the San Antonio Art League and Museum's 2013 Artist of the Year designation. As this would be a retrospective on my work looking back several years as well as what I am currently producing, it began a journey for me of organizing my portfolio, reflecting on my work, and doing more painting to get ready for an exhibition - a very exciting time.
As it turned out, the honor of SAALM's Artist of the Year 2013 went to Francis Y. Huang, who had a very successful show this last month. Congratulations to him! Happily, the other four contenders - myself, Edith Collins, Billy Keen and Steven Smith - were offered a group show of about 15 pieces of each of our work.
I'm so happy to announce that this weekend, Sunday, Nov. 3, 3:00-5:00, will be the opening reception at the museum in the King William District (130 King William Street, SA 78204 - across from the little park with a gazebo). For those who haven't been, it's a lovely little art museum, one of the oldest art institutions in San Antonio, located in a former carriage house in the beautiful King William neighborhood. They always do a wonderful wine reception with gourmet refreshments. Admission is free and parking is plentiful.
I hope you can come enjoy the extremely varied work of these four artists. Thanks! Susan
