The Porcelain Reformation







We did it. We got the long-awaited exhibit up at the McKinney Avenue Contemporary without a hitch, thanks to Rick Brettell. It is odd and exhiliarating at the same time--I never really thought this would happen, at least in my lifetime. What an absolute joy, on so many levels.

My whole family was there--and naturally, we four Henry girls did the loud sister act routine upon greeting one another in the gallery! The Lark ascended from San Diego! Adam from Austin, the Henry clan from Arkansas! And the faraway prize goes to Sherry & Marcus from San Mateo and Richard Osler from Victoria!

































The crowd--300 or so-- was amazing and some of them even looked at art!
Ken and Mona Hale arrived on Saturday and his sumptous show of prints and collages was ready and waiting. Both of us were humbled and astonished by the quiet beauty of the installations of our galleries...seeing so much of one's work in one place is an experience every artist should have. And then fill up the room with friends and flattering strangers, and wow, Cloud Nine swept right in.
