For my faraway friends

- Lea's mother gave birth to her on the principle's desk, which sent her sailing on a long career of following rules and being an excellent student. Nevertheless, Lea spent her childhood sucking her thumb and twirling her curly hair through her fingers while staring off in the distance into her her far-more-daring-than-reality imagination. Her playmates were frequently imaginary as well--she had so many of these that she was often caught playing tag or hide-and-seek "by herself." Today, Lea's art work continues to explore the places in her head. These are places where all women hold their own beauty, and each possesses a power so strong it surges through her long electrifying curls. Places where friends come in all sizes and their forms are often surprising. Most importantly, places that are free of rules and ever-changing, where anyone and everyone can find that wild piece of themselves that they have always been seeking.

WoWzer!!!! How exciting to have that space all to yourself and your amazing pictures!! It was all spooky at the beginning, going in out of the rain... I love your pieces painted on wood - they look so atmospheric and I think the setting looks really good with the candlelight. What is the tall thin one with bright pink spheres - would love to have a closer look at that one. All in all - fantastic! Well done you. Let us know how it goes...
Thank you so much Celia! It was a great show :) We are having a closing reception this Friday (since Thanksgiving will take over the last weekend of the month), so one more chance for those in town to have a look in person! I am going to be taking high quality photos this week some time; I'll post them as soon as I get a chance so you can get a better look.
