My Art Debut

Today was my art debut! It was the opening reception of the Annual Art Student Exhibition at CSUN. My piece, Steps, was one of 80 pieces chosen out of 300 pieces!!!! If you missed it don't worry it will be running from April 29th- June 2nd at the Main Gallery in the Art Dept at CSUN, it's on Plummer and Etiwanda. I can't even really tell you how excited I was when I approached the art gallery. The music was very fun and enchanting. The crowd was fairly large filled with fellow students, faculty, art lovers, and supporting friends and family.

When I entered the gallery and saw the caliber of work that was accepted, I felt accomplished. It definately was a humbling experience to see all the great art in the gallery and know that I was chosen to be among them. Once I found my piece, my face was lit with a big smile. It was weird having my art on the wall for all to stop and see. I hovered near by a large portion of the night to hear people's response, comments, and answer questions. At first I was a little sneaky lol! I stood near the piece and talked to people about it and then revealed I was the artist responsible. It was very interesting to see their reaction.

It was great to have friends there to support me and share in the moment. I greatly appreciated it!!! I know I'll have many more friends and family to come out and share the moment with me. All I can say is I have the biggest smile on my face!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
