This semester I was chosen to display 2 photos in the student art show here at Chandler Gilbert Community College. I found out this week from my teacher that one of my photos was chosen by the school to be purchased at kept in their permanent collection! I was really excited about this because it is the first time I have sold a single photograph as a piece of art. I hope that this will be the first of many pictures sold! So for more news in my art world, yesterday I had the opportunity to display 4 pictures at an Art Revival Exhibition put on by the Hispanic Student Organization at the college. I had only found out about it the day before so I hurried at contacted who was in charge to see if there was still room for me. I was so pleased to find out that they were going to allow me to still be in the show, despite my last minute application. At the show they had many different forms of art! There were paintings and photographs hung up as well as people doing live painting which was amazing to watch. They also had a stage set up where 2 groups performed music, poetry was read, and a dance was performed. I really enjoyed experiencing all these different forms of art and was very grateful to be a contributing part of the night. There was one poet who before reading her poem which was written for her mom, told the story of what inspired her to write it. She said that she had asked her mom what love was and responded by saying "I don't know what love is, but I know what it's like to not have it anymore". Her husband had passed away and I thought that was a beautiful was of expressing her idea of love. I am so thankful I was able to attend this event and that people are willing to share their amazing talents with others. I am so blessed.
This is the photograph that was chosen by the school. I guess Brig is pretty famous now.
