So my next task was to choose which artworks to display in the show. I asked my friend and fellow artist, Lauren Curtis, for advice. She suggested I include examples of the different subjects that I’ve produced…symbolic/mystical collages, landscapes and nature scenes, and travel photography.

There is a wall space that is the first thing visitors see when they step out of the elevator. I wanted to be sure I picked visually striking images there. I settled on The Sisters and Radiant Mask.

I wanted to organize groups of images by theme…but also wanted to make certain that the pictures looked pleasing hanging next to each other. I thought that Serpent in the Roses and Imago worked well together.

I grouped my Paris travel photographs on one wall, but made sure that the photographs were different enough to hold the viewer’s interest.

As I have never hung my own artwork for a show before, this was definitely an eye-opening experience! But it encouraged me to think about my art in a different way. It was a satisfying feeling to see all of the pieces hanging on the wall at the end!
