Wowzers! What a wonderful vernissage this Saturday. First of all I want to throw out a big thank you to all the people showing up, sharing your thoughts and minds with me and keeping a four-hour long smile on my face and warmth in my little artist heart! 

I am just so impressed with how well the gallerist matched me with my fellow exhibitor Micke Johansson, a very skilled Swedish glassblower. The way the art interacted with one another and lifted each other up was very thrilling to see. Both of our work is very colorful and playful and includes life in one way or another. So big compliments too to the gallery for putting together such an uplifting exhibition! I appreciate that in contrast to many galleries and museums the hanging was so lively - I think it turned into a beautiful 3D collage of art where you can just step in and keep finding little details for as long as you keep looking. 

I never know what to expect from exhibitions and vernissages so it's always a little nail-biting beforehand, though I had a very good feeling with this one from the start. Yet, I was positively surprised how crowded it was from the minute we opened until the minute we basically had to kindly shoo people out when the gallery had to close. I can count the minutes that I didn't have people approaching me and talking to me on probably one finger. Which genuinly made my day! Getting to take part of the thoughts and minds of the viewers about my work is really so meaningful to me, especially when people take the time to thoroughly explain how they experience my work and interpret the deeper messages and my imagination. Being inspiring in one way or another to others is just as rewarding to me so I appreciate every single thought that was shared with me this day!  

If you didn't have the opportunity to visit the exhibition yet, there is still time until the 27th of January to have a look. Galleri Nord is open on weekends from 12-16 and on Wednesdays till Fridays from 11-15. Don't miss it!
