Exhibit at Encinitas Library

I've been matting and framing work for the last week in preparation for my exhibit 'Woodblock Narrative' at the Encinitas Library from January 19th- February 25th. It's a real pleasure to have been selected to display my work in MY library (ok- so I'm a bit possessive. I do go there quite often). Hey, it's my community, where I live, shop, take the kids to the park, go to the beach, drink my coffee, get my car repaired, meet my friends and work. I imagine all the people I know, and don't know, who also share this community wandering into the library's Community Room and seeing my work. I wonder...
Well, enough of that- I'm the first exhibit of the year so I didn't have that much notice to get ready (that and I work pretty slowly these days). So, back to cutting mats and piecing together frames.
