My Art Exhibition

As I reflect on the recent success of my art exhibition, "ELEMENTS OF GRANDEUR: A Journey Through Nature, Light, and Form," held throughout March at Links Bridge Vineyards, my heart swells with gratitude and joy. The venue itself—an exquisite tasting room crafted entirely from warm, inviting oak—provided the perfect backdrop for my work. Each beam and panel of wood seemed to resonate with the natural elements I sought to capture, creating an atmosphere that felt both intimate and grand.Throughout the month, the tasting room buzzed with life. Each day was filled with reservations, as guests arrived eager to sip fine wines while immersing themselves in the visual feast before them. The energy was electric; laughter and spirited conversations floated through the air, with friendly debates erupting over which piece resonated most profoundly. I could hear the passionate discussions about "Whisper," a piece that evoked a deep emotional connection for many, as viewers found solace in its serene beauty. Meanwhile, "Heaven’s Gate" drew admirers who marveled at its ethereal quality, sparking conversations that ranged from poetic interpretations to personal reflections.In the midst of it all, I felt an overwhelming sense of belonging. Joan and Bob, the vineyard owners, were nothing short of extraordinary hosts. Their warmth and enthusiasm made me feel right at home. They not only shared their stunning space with me but also infused it with their genuine love for art and community. Every corner of the tasting room felt alive with their hospitality, enhancing the overall experience for both the viewers and me.As I stood among the guests, witnessing their reactions and emotions, I was reminded of the profound power of art to connect us. Each interaction, each smile shared over a glass of wine, filled my heart with inspiration. It was a celebration of not just my work, but of the human experience—joy, contemplation, and connection.Looking ahead, I am filled with excitement for the future. Plans are already underway for next year’s exhibition, and I can promise you it will be even grander! I envision new pieces that will inspire even deeper conversations and emotions, set against the backdrop of the breathtaking Links Bridge Vineyards once more. Together, let’s continue this journey through nature, light, and form. I'm eager to see you all there again, ready to explore, debate, and celebrate art in all its glory!

Hey Monika, thanks for inviting me to your page. Your pictures look so cool. Last year I saw one of your pieces in the art store. I returned to that store last month and inquired-- the guy said, "I sold that picture a while ago". Go figure. 🙂 Keep up the amazing work. DDH

The Unrecognized Artist

     In the world of creativity, the poignant statement by Jesus, "A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country and among his kin, and in his own house," (Mark 6:4) resonates deeply with many artists struggling for recognition. Imagine an artist pouring their heart into their work, only to find that their family, friends, and hometown remain indifferent to their passion. Meanwhile, their creations touch the hearts of strangers across the globe, earning accolades and admiration far from home. This paradox is not uncommon; the very people who should be the first to celebrate our talents often overlook them, leaving us to seek validation from distant admirers.
