A Bittersweet Memory

 My show at the Zanesville Museum of Art came down yesterday, and I picked all the work up today.  It was a wonderful, exciting ride...one I am extremely proud of. I am very grateful to the ZMA for the opportunity, and to all my friends and family who supported me in this endeavor.

 Now, back at Studio 202, I am ready to get back to the business of creating more artwork. I am currently working on 2 commission pieces, so they are keeping me busy for the moment. But, I am feeling the pull to perhaps stretch in a new direction. It usually takes awhile for me to incubate an idea. Stay tuned for more to come.

 For now, I will bask in the memory of my first solo show.

Fear of Flying...Solo

In my last post I mentioned my up-coming solo show. I am extremely proud and excited about: "Art Quilts and Textiles by Susan Nash". It will run from April 24, 2010 to June 19, 2010 at the Zanesville Museum of Art. ( http://www.zanesvilleart.org/ ) The opening reception and gallery talk, should you happen to be in the area, is Saturday April 24, 5 -7pm.

I am grateful for this opportunity on so many levels. A solo show was on my list of things to achieve in the future. The fact that the museum director, Susan Talbot-Stanaway, saw something in my work worthy of a show, humbles me deeply. The publicity has been amazing as well.

May I let you in on a wee little secret? There is a huge part of all this that terrifies me. I mean, I am preparing to hang my heart and soul out there for of the world to see, and judge. That ugly little "ego" dude is on my shoulder asking me, am I really worthy of this?? Who do I think I am?? Okay, so I'm thinking this is probably a normal reaction? Or am I alone in feeling a little bit inadequate?
