I know I said I was going to try to post more frequently in the New Year…clearly that hasn’t worked out so well just yet. While there is really no excuse for not taking just a few minutes a few times a week to update, I have been a little preoccupied this past month. I was getting ready (promo materials, pr, etc) for my first local show in San Miguel which was hosted at the Oasis — one of San Miguel’s renown boutique properties and a Trip Advisor Traveler’s Choice 2010 Winner for Service and Bargain. Nancy Hooper, the owner of the Oasis, was so gracious to open her doors to host an invitational reception on January 28th for me and Bill Fares, a local sculptor of reclaimed iron. The artwork was well received and I did sell a piece. Flor de la Noche, which recently received a “Special Recognition” in the Upstream People Gallery Juried Art Exhibition, is installed in its new home in Mexico City. I hope the new owner is enjoying it as much as I enjoyed creating it (you may view the piece on my site here).

Below are a few photos from the opening. I will be posting again next week to show the new piece I’ll be starting for the WOW (World of Wearable Art) competition and show. I’m really looking forward to getting started on that piece…it’s going to be a lot of fun.

Andrea Soto Alegria, Textile Artist Wendy Moyer, Alexis White and Oasis owner Nancy Hooper.

My parents, Barry & Lorene, me (sorry it’s difficult for me to kept my mouth shut), and the man of my life, Paul.

Doug, Brett (owner of Shanti day spa in San Miguel), Oasis owner Nancy Hooper, and me. Paraíso is the piece in the background.

Bill Fares, sculptor of reclaimed iron.

One of Bill’s pieces. This piece is hooked up to a propane tank and incorporates fire into the sculpture.
