Los Angeles, CA
Back in LA – came back on Sunday. The EnFoco opening went really well! I was really happy with how my very first art opening worked out. We had a great turn out and everyone were very excited about my work.
Before the opening has started, Marisol, the program director at EnFoco has brought her kids from the Bronx River Art Project and wanted all the artists speak to them about our work. Now, I get a little nervous when I have to speak in front of a crowd and then I tend to talk really fast as I get more nervous. I also didn’t really know what to say to the kids either. Suprisingly I found them to be really receptive and really interested in the project and the stories that I could tell them that went along with the images.
I think maybe one of the best thing about the opening is that I got to meet all the other participating artist and I have exchanged a few emails with them already and I think I will really enjoy talking and exchanging ideas with them as we all grow in our careers.
The picture above is of Kesha Bruce, she is an amazing artist who lives and works in France. I am excited that she is my new friend. 🙂
Awwwww! I just now found this post while I was googling myself. (Sad but true)
Yes, it was a great opening & gosh darnit I'm glad to be your new friend too!
