Tonight was my first ever juried art exhibit! The exhibit was held at Haven Art Gallery in Port Washington NY and features the work of the members of the PCLI. I humbly announce that my framed horses sold before the exhibit even began AND were featured on a quarter page ad in the newspaper! Let me tell you the story of these horses:
Every year, we join my husband's side of the family in Bethany Beach, Delaware. It's one of the best weeks of my summer and I look forward to it every year. Two years ago, we ventured out to Assateague State Park in Maryland. It has one of the most beautiful beach I have ever seen (it's the subject of many of my photos), and it is adorned with wild ponies all over the island! After an afternoon of hiking the trails, my husband and I decided to take a nap on the beach before heading home to New York. I was awakened by the sensation of something hovering over me. When I opened my eyes, I realized it was a horse!! I gently reached out my arm to grab my camera and took this shot as he gazed back to this other horse behind him. It was so quick! It's so true that some of the best shots are not planned. I'm just so thankful that I had my camera beside me (that's a joke to those who know me- I ALWAYS have my camera right beside me!)

The second photo featured in the exhibit is "the Bridge". This photograph is particularly special to me because it is the sight of where my husband asked me to marry him! I've always had a thing for bridges. The Brooklyn Bridge and Golden Gate are my favorite. (I swear, I even have a photo of me kissing the Golden Gate. When I would see it peak out in the hills of San Francisco, I would always gasp (yes, I often AM the butt of all jokes). Anyways, one of my most favorite things to do is walk across these two bridges. On one of our first dates, my husband (who has always been a very attentive listener- one of his many good qualities) took me to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge and we spent the evening at the San Gennaro feast in Little Italy. It was while walking across the bridge on the way home, beneath a full moon and the most amazing New York City skyline, that I realized that "this could really be something". 9 months later, he asked me to marry him!!
The exhibit will be up from now through February 5th. Both prints are available to purchase, either matted, unmatted, or framed. Contact me if interested!
