A Mixed Media Montage - The Exhibit

I am lucky enough to live in a town where the public library is amazing! Not only do they have a great selection of books, including local points of interest and by local authors, they have amazing workshops and exhibits.

I have been able to utilize their exhibit hall twice now for my art. The first was a combined exhibit featuring myself, my business partner, and one of our vendors. The exhibit was all art made from recycled and re-purposed books and book pages.

The current exhibit is completely my own art. It is mixed media, collage and assemblage. I am very happy with the response I have gotten so far. I hung the art January 5th. The opening reception was held the evening of January 8th. The reception was well attended and I sold 6 pieces during that time. I have since sold 3 more pieces. The exhibit will run until March 12, 2016.

For purposed of display and for this blog, I have separated the art into different categories:
