The calm before the storm…lol. Loved being asked to help during this Girl Scout adventure at DKW Gallery yesterday morning. Busy helping so I didn’t get a picture of all the girls. They had fun making three different art projects.

Love being recognized as one of the winners of "Industrial" with this Alcohol Ink piece!!! Denise

🌟 Congratulations to the winners of our Industrial Open Call: &REW SORIA, Elsa Naude, Tommy Anthony Knudson, Jukka Heinovirta, Diane V Radel, Steven George Clark Mr, Denise Murphy, Anastasiia Novitskaya, Ely Tahan, Blaze Art, Alexey Adonin, Thomas Haensgen, Petroula Zamani, and Ann Cloutier!

"Curating “Industrial” presented an unexpected challenge: for once, my visual expectations had a limited scope. I expected as many would, a slew of monochromatic images, stories being told through decades-old patinas. But that was only a small portion of what I experienced: yes, there were moments of beautiful decay, but just as often there were uplifting visions of a better future, bold, colorful, and full of hope. I hope that my selections offer an interesting cross-section of interpretations that inspires you, too." - Kate Kelly, Curator
