    It is always an interesting challenge - sometimes it is painful and other times it is great.

    Thank you for the add and the comments on my work. It must be an interesting challenge to be involved in the arts in your positions as art director, curator, and dealer.

    I didn't know the person who gave me my start. 3 years ago, I put together the Hot Summer Art Festival in our town, Jacksonville, IL. The director of the local community college asked if I would consider coordinating artwork for their large main room. I suggested I curate the space monthly with art openings. Now, I curate 6 space and am adding a 7th. All but one are public spaces, like our coffee house, a frame shop, a restaurant... I started a Gallery Hop Sept of 06 when other art spaces started opening up in our downtown and started a monthly dinner/opening at the restaurant one year ago this month.
