Going solo
 

Yep I am having my first solo show !

In the past year I took a break from portraits and I worked on still lifes with the purpose of having a small exhibition of my work in Italy ( I play it safe, on home grounds).
I first contacted a small gallery which was happy to show my work but in the end I decided to rent a bigger space and found this amazing old gallery in the heart of town (in piazza Margana, Rome) which was free exactly when I wanted. I will show about twenty still lifes and I just couldn't resist throwing in a few portraits. The show will openon the 22nd october and run for a week.

So, all the paintings are framed and already in Rome, here's the invitation for all of you, who knows, maybe....

Unfortunately, I can't go. But oh, wouldn't I love to return to the city of my birth to see your wonderful work! Ilaria, I wish you the very, very best with this show. I think you are going to get rave reviews (but don't forget to generate some publicity). Can you post some pictures of the reception?

Congratulations!!!!!
 

Ilaria, your work IS just beautiful and I would absolutely love to see all the paintings in your solo show! Are they on a special website? I am also working in the same direction as I want to do both portraits and fine art. I have a meeting with a gallery next week.

Ilaria -

Please be sure to post photos of your opening! congratulations -

Julie, Alex, I certainly will !

Carol, I removed the still life page from my website just to try and make people come and see with their own eyes, but I will reinstate it as soon as the show is finished. Best of luck with your appointment

Ilaria, this is such terrific news! I wish so much I could be there! I think your work is so strong - I predict you will have red 'sale' dots on everything. This is very exciting news!

Please, take lots and lots of photos and tell us about the opening when it happens!

I'm very happy for you. Congrats.

Ilaria,
good luck with the show, I'm sure that they'll love it. I do, and I often take a look at your home page to enjoy your light touch and fresh approach. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Hello Ilaria

Congratulations! I am so pleased everything worked out for you for this show. I wish I could get the Italy to see the show and see your work in person, and to meet you, but, sadly, I won't be able to come. I hope the show is a sell-out for you, and the beginning of lots more international exposure - you deserve it!

Ilaria,

I wish you wonderful success with the show and I will be waiting to see photos of the exhibit space as well.
