January 2011 update
| I am very pleased and excited to announce the opening of my solo exhibition
at the Mobilia Gallery in Cambridge, Massachusetts on January 11, 2011
for about six weeks. The opening reception was held on January 13, 2011
from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. It was fantastic! The weather is wintery cold and
snowy. The Boston area had a large snowstorm on January 11 and 12 with about 20 inches of snow falling. Although it remained very cold, January 13 was a sunny, beautiful day and a bright beginning to a wonderful day for my opening. |

| I am pleased to show you some photos from my opening reception, beginning
with the morning view from Boston studio window with the heavy snow still
on the tree branches outside. The next two pictures are the advance preparation
of the refreshments with me and Libby Cooper, the gallery owner. This is followed by several of my works that are on display for the exhibition. |

| I greatly appreciate that so many people came out on a cold, snowy evening to make for a heartwarming opening reception at Mobilia for my solo exhibition. And my most sincere thank you to Libby & Joanne Cooper of the Mobilia Gallery, and their staff, Sue, Yuri and Emily for helping assemble and present a beautiful representation of my works. |
