This month I'll be exhibiting at the Acton/Agua Dulce Library and it will be the first time that I display my photography so I'm kind of excited about it. It's also my first earthbound exhibit - no space junk! That is to say, none of my alien characters have been invited. It was a challenge because I have done a lot of sci-fi inspired paintings over the years.
When I realized that I didn't really have enough paintings to fill the room I resorted to exhibiting my photography. It actually worked out well because it inspired me to go through my photo archives and I discovered some incredible photos that I forgot I had even taken. It also reminded me just how much I love the earthly creatures that coexist on this planet with us. So, then I was inspired to write a song. And that was another first for me - writing a song to accompany an art exhibit. And then came a slideshow video which brought everything together! It's been a fun but frustrating process trying to align photos with lyrics - but most of all - trying to convey how important these creatures are to me. I hope that the focus is on them and not me. That was my main goal.
