"Gifts, not Mere Coincidences" in the "Asian Influence in Contemporary Western Art" Show

Thank you to those of you who came to the opening of the show “Asian Influence in Contemporary Western Art”! I had a great time!

I have seven pieces in this show; four paintings, two assemblages, and one installation art. Here are some photos of the “Gifts, not Mere Coincidences” installation. I was wearing a necklace with the same type of beads that my art is “wearing”.

This is the first time I have included a fire alarm in my work!  It was sort of unexpected at the beginning, but it's working well visually and conceptually. It added a blinking red light to my piece, plus a little humor, I guess!

It is interesting to see the Asian influence in the work of other artists. I can’t stop looking at it! I am so grateful and humbled to be in the same show with these accomplished artists, especially Kevin Mullins. His work is vivid and reminds me of the many words of encouragement he gave me. We artists live on in our artwork.
