I’m thrilled with the opportunity to show my work at the beautiful AVA Gallery and Art Center, in the E.N. Wennberg Gallery from January 10 to February 7, 2020. Last night was the opening reception. Here are a few photos I took after the crowds thinned out. AVA has a large and loyal following that comes out for their receptions. There were three other concurrent sol exhibitions sharing the opening date, so it was great fun.
