6/14 - Toledo Artwalk

It's very exciting indeed to be one of 5 artists at the Sur Saint Clair Gallery in Toledo! 

We headed out on Monday to set things up for their Artwalk on Thursday.  Richard and his assistant, Pat were both just wonderful.  They made me feel like we were old friends getting reacquainted.

The building is in their warehouse district and like most of the other buildings on St. Clair, it has been restored and re purposed.  The lively lime green painted walls in the entry hall was a fun welcome and I couldn't wait to make my way to the actual gallery. 

Brick walls, wood floors, open box-type elevator (which is still operable), mammoth sliding wood doors, and overhead beams and chains from the building's first life have been kept intact, making the gallery a piece of art unto its ownself.  

Richard graciously extended my display area to include the adjacent wall, which was a perfect backdrop for my Windows of Savannah piece.  The photo is of a window in a brick building and it is now hanging on a brick wall between two windows.  It's like that's where it was meant to live.
