81. Close to Home Exhibition a Success

The February 6th opening reception to my Close to Home photography exhibition at the Elaine Biondi Gallery Space in Monroeville, Pennsylvania was a pleasure and by all measures a success.  I thought the exhibit made a wonderful presentation and the opening was well attended by many friends, family and the merely curious. There was plenty of food, refreshments and even a cake celebrating the exhibition and my 60th birthday!  I even received several birthday cards, which I did not expect, and for which I am extremely grateful.  My thanks to everyone who attended for their time and consideration and also many thanks to all the complements and encouraging words given me in appreciation of my photographs.

For those who are unable to view my exhibition in person in Monroeville, I have created an on-line virtual exhibition. Click on this link (http://www.bobbickers.net/closetohome.html) and it will take you to my website and the virtual art show. 

I want to especially thank Sally Wightkin, the curator at the Gallery Space, and all the volunteers who did such a wonderful job in hanging this show and whose efforts support all the artists in our community who are given this wonderful opportunity to showcase their artwork in such a beautiful setting.  I can't wait to do it again!
