GRRRLS Like Us: Exhibition Review

My colored pencil artwork was on display next to Mariel Collins' work at the Cherry Hill Village Theater in Canton, Michigan from November 7-December 3, 2017. The turnout for our opening reception was good, and we heard a lot of positive comments about our drawings - both individually, and how they paired together for the exhibition, which we titled "GRRRLS Like Us."

Now that the exhibition is over, several of these pieces are now available for sale in my Etsy shop. I also have several blank notecard sets available there, featuring art prints of these same drawings.

Below are the photos of each of my 23 drawings, framed, hung, and lit on the Village Theater atrium walls. Good lighting is so important for colored pencil drawings on black paper like these - without strong, directional spotlights, they can look a little dark and you lose a lot of the detail work I put into the pieces.
