January 17, 2014 opening of capture 2914 last night

Last night was the opening of Capture 2014; Nova Scotia Realism at Dalhousie Art Gallery. It is a wonderful exhibition and I am so proud. This was a crazy hair brained idea that I dreamt up and four years later, it is reality. Seven fellow artists, persevered with me, and I am so grateful to Steven Rhude, Paul. Hannon, Shelley Mitchell, Susan Paterson, Ed Huner, Gordon MacDonald, and  Tom Forreststall. We are the members of Professional Living Artists of Nova Scotia . Our curators, Tom Smart and Peter Dykhuis  are phenomenal and the exhibition is all that we hoped for. Thank you to the lucky 28 artists that are actually in the exhibition and thank  you also to the 110 artists that had faith in us and applied to be a part of this show.  I wish that everyone could have been included.

Without the financial help of the Robert Pope Foundation we would have never got to square one and the support of the Craig Foundation had allowed us to dream big.
Thank you  to everyone who has helped or donated.
