Red Ribbon Exhibit

This weekend was the Red Ribbon Exhibit and Sale for the Arts Council. It was such a great time! It was organized so well and the music, hor d'oeuvres, and wine were exceptional. It was nice to meet and speak with fellow artists from all around the Niagara Region. I was also blown away by the high level of art hiding in our city :) Needless to say, I was rather nervous about my first exhibit. But within an hour on the Saturday night, I was floating--I sold a print! It was the print "Aftermath" from my shoot with Captain Ziegler. It kept me going all night then again this afternoon. Then to round out my amazing weekend, my piece that I donated for the Silent Auction ALSO sold! Couldn't be happier!

And on a personal note, my good friends Lizz & Dustin had their sweet baby girl last week. She is completely breathtaking and already loved. So just a little congrats to them :) If it's possible (and I have their OK), I may post some photos later of her that I've taken for their birth announcements!

Arts Council and Exhibit

Very exciting news! I went today and joined the Arts Council of Fort Erie! It's been something I've wanted to do for a while, and my husband has been at me to do, so I decided with my whole New Year resolutions about my photography, that it is something I should do! And I am very glad I did :) I am looking forward to networking with other local artists and getting my name and business out there even more!

One great thing about joining the council is I am also going to be submitting pieces for my very first exhibit! The Red Ribbon Art Exhibit is on Februaryth 14th & 15th (7-10pm and noon-4pm respectively) at the Crossroads Welcome Centre in Fort Erie. All artists will be selling their work this year as well, so please come take a look or support your local artists! Hope to see everyone there!

I also revamped the website a little bit. Something just felt....off about it lately. So I hope I fixed it up :)

Thanks for all the love,
Cheers,
Samantha
