The artist reception at Jackson Junge Gallery for Naked & Not Afraid was awesome!!

I had a blast, i was not worried about what i was wearing, or saying. Several folks that I knew stopped by, and my man was again by my side!!

I loved the exhibit as a whole, quite a few pieces found me taken with them. 

I saw a lot of folks snapping images of all the creations.  

It makes me wonder what the rules are about that.

I took images of my work in context to the show.

simply to remind me that I was there.

a bit more like pinch me - i was there!

giggle.

"She" seemed to prompt a lot of conversation. (top and middle photo) 

"happy accident" had many ask what was that?  like, which body part? (bottom piece - last photo)

AND the owner of the gallery Chris said that he was quite fond of "off the shoulder!!" (top piece - last photo) 

How cool is that?

Painter Laura, co-owner and in house artist is sorting through an issue of chronic pain through two pieces she is painting live.  VERY interesting to see her process.  I got to meet her this time. 

It was super cold out that night.  

Otherwise I would have spent more time photographing the grit of Chicago that I love so much. 

If I took that on - one street at a time. it would seriously take me a lifetime.
