Melissa's Art Exhibition "My Neighbors & Me"

Last night was the opening night for my art exhibition in Chennai, India at the Apparao Gallery. Considering it was a Thursday night, it was well attended. Our school was well represented - a great support. A few newspapers and one TV station did interviews. Here is one article. For the event, I wore my (only) sari, a purple silk/cotton sari from Kanchipuram, Tamil Nadu. The show appeared to be well-received, with visitors commenting on the capture of personality, quest for details, use of materials, and portrayal of the common person. Here are a few photos:


You may preview the pieces at the show at http://www.apparaogalleries.com/events_view_exhibitions.php?id=25. Pieces are for sale.
The show continues at the Apparao Gallery through the end of the month.
