I am proud, and exceedingly grateful to be here. Now.
Thank you.
Helena has a special place in my heart, I grew up there. This small little town in Montana is full of inspirational people and landscapes. A perfect place to grow up dreaming. One of my high school art teachers sent me this picture, below. It is his invitation to my Holter opening tonight with a cattle marker piece I did almost 20 years ago (I had to triple check that as I wrote it, wow...that's a few days ago). Twenty years ago I threw that artwork away. He grabbed it out the garbage and it's been on the wall of his art room for all this time. Thinking about who I was when I created that piece, and the full circle that is today...fills me with a crazy sense of time, emotion, and appreciation. The presence of the full moon in all of these artworks (both old and new) seems like something I should pay attention to. So I looked it up, thank you google.A Time of Opportunity. A Full Moon is a lunar phase that happens when the moon is on the opposite side of the earth from the sun... The full moon is a time of positive opportunity , wholeness and strength, illumination, and energy.If these last 20 years are a full lunar cycle in art-time, I really enjoy seeing the full moon again for whatever symbolic meaning there is.
