My first photo exhibition at the WVANA ArtShow and Sale<\/a> was very successful. We had many visitors over the weekend to view the large selection of local artist\u2019s work. I got to meet many of the other local artists in the association and have some new ideas for future shows.<\/p>\n

One of the highlights for me was discovering my new neighbour was also a member and seeing his display of wood turning. I was quite surprised to see him there when I arrived to set up my display on Friday night and we got to know each other a bit more over the weekend. Some of Bob\u2019s work:<\/p>\n

At the show I also made my very first print sale! My large 20\u00d740 canvas gallery wrap print of \u201cPeggy\u2019s Cove\u201d has found a new home.<\/p>\n

Another highlight of my first art show was being presented the People\u2019s Choice Award. All guests were given a ballot and asked to vote for their favourite piece at the show, and a number of people voted for a few of my images.<\/p>\n

I learned a lot and really enjoyed talking to the public who visited and had questions and also talking to the other artists. Looking forward to the next show!<\/p>\n
