I hope we can get some creative time together one of these days -- what fun THAT would be!<br /><br />Leslie, your word "contrast" sums up a lot of my experience at SOFA. Amazing contrast between that glittering, high-level world and the private, quiet world of creating. <br /><br />Rosemary, SOFA provided wonderful lessons for me in being Who I Am in the world. I feel stronger in myself as a result. <br /><br />Terry, I really do feel good about the experience and preparation that I put into getting ready for this opportunity -- and now feel even more motivated to make lots of new work. Developing opportunities for solo exhibitions is going to be my total focus for the next few years.Jeanne Raffer Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17080286350374492967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340855682127988960.post-32921564240134333812009-11-12T12:15:01.911-08:002009-11-12T12:15:01.911-08:00Congratulations on a successful experience.

As you said, "you never know what will develop from an experience", but it all goes into 'the pot' and will carry you along.Terry Jarrard-Dimondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06709683518897702916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340855682127988960.post-86656486459937021722009-11-12T07:57:25.713-08:002009-11-12T07:57:25.713-08:00Thanks for the summary.

No doubt you had good opportunities to meet other artists, gallery owners, and patrons. SOFA seems to me to be a world unto itself. While it had to have been an enriching experience, I completely understand you being happy to be home again, and working in your own studio. Welcome back!Rosemary@semo.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02657214668631520134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340855682127988960.post-54483202678681205752009-11-12T06:52:11.755-08:002009-11-12T06:52:11.755-08:00The contrast of public presentation and the studio...The contrast of public presentation and the studio - it's the studio where the fun happens! I enjoyed the article, and you look fabulous as does your work! I couldn't find the link to the slide show. I hope I get to see your work in person some day. Congratulations on the whole SOFA experience.Leslie Avon Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09235003342775117469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340855682127988960.post-11058115497430429232009-11-12T04:21:43.781-08:002009-11-12T04:21:43.781-08:00Hi Jeanne,

It was great to see you for that three minutes we had :-) It sounds like you got the whirlwind tour of Chicago; no wonder you're tired! Your work looked incredible. It was great to see it live. I have been immersed in my guild's show myself and can appreciate how good it is to get back to a routine and to quiet.
