The School 33 Open Studio Tour turned out to be a fantastic professional experience. The body of work I have going is basically conceptual, map based and I really wasn't sure how it would be received. I got my answer when the first people entered my studio and began to look at and interact with the pieces on the wall. They had many questions, comments and thoughts to share, and we talked for quite a while. Overall, I had 50 or more visitors. About 30% spent a significant amount of time studying the pieces. Many engaged in long conversations about the work, giving me feedback and their personal reactions. All in all, I felt very grateful to get the enthusiastic response. The experience definately energized me - I've already been back in the studio and completed 4 more panels for the large wall piece!
