In November, Christan and I had our show at the 1010 Gallery. Where Rocking Horse People Eat Marshmallow Pies was a HUGE success! We had a fabulous crowd that First Friday. Close to 1,000 people stopped by! At times there were people waiting outside to get in. You would think it was a carnival ride! Really though, that is not far from the truth. We completely transformed the space. Our artwork filled the tiny gallery and made it into a whole new world! This is what we wanted and it is so wonderful to see our ideas actually come into fruition.
Viewers has so many wonderful things to say about our art. These are just a few references we received: underwater landscape, alien planet, inside of a body, as well as many more awesome descriptions! Christan and I were inspired from many different things. We had such an AMAZING time creating the work and we wanted that experience for our audience as well. I believe we achieved it! Here are some photographs of the work.
Here are some photographs of our audience. Without viewers, people to experience the art, this show would be nothing.
One of my kindergarten students came out with her mother on the Saturday after the opening. She totally matched! Like a little squid in the sea!
Children seemed to love our show!
Yes, we let people touch the art. I am one of those people that has the urge to touch artwork and it drives me crazy when I cannot! Our show was very "touch-friendly" and people had a lot of fun with it!
A little glimpse of the crowd.After the show, I posted a ton of photographs on my facebook page. If you want to see more of this show, please do so at
