Homage

Happy to say that I received word that I will be among the 58 selected artists (out of over 100 who submitted) who will be in the Homage Show at Cube Gallery in Ottawa from June 4th - 29th. Don Monet, who has become a friend over the course of the four Cube group shows I have participated in, is always comes up with awesome themes. I love submitting work for consideration to Cube. I though the show would be later in the summer so I am bummed that I won't be at the opening. The artist I plan to pay homage to with my piece is Julia Margaret Cameron.


The Echo, 1868, by Julia Margaret Cameron


I had a difficult time chosing between her and Robert Mapplethorpe. I love them both but would rather do Mapplethorpe, but I don't think conservative Ottawa would be very receptive...
