A well-attended 'meet the artists' at CUBE Gallery's 'Water' show in Ottawa, April 8 - May 17, 2009. Though a bit of an introvert, I look forward to these opportunities to be able to meet the public as well as other artists who spend a good deal of time alone with their muses. Conversations are short and usually intense. Gallery owner Don Monet put on a nice spread and manages to create a warm, relaxed atmosphere. Live music seems to add that celebratory mood and breaks the 'quiet' ice that is often found in a gallery environment. The work that stood out for me was that of Victoria Wonnacott, Gordon Wallace, Janet Moore and Norman Takeuchi. Short conversations with them left me wanting more.
