Inspire By Bethany: The Opening Of my first exhibition!

So the night has been and gone...the opening night of my first exhibition at The London Street Gallery, Derry/Londonderry

The Exhibition is called 'Emerge+See' to capture the variety of different artist's (Emerging and established) but also to capture the difference in styles.

This was in fact my first exhibition experience ever. I never really got to go to art exhibitions, and although i'm constantly admiring others art and gaining inspiration, i am ashamed to say it's mainly through the internet not through galleries. My view on that has now changed.

I was putting a brave face on it, but really i was nervous walking into the gallery. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and i was prepared for that, but i had some daydream where people would be avoiding my painting in the gallery haha. I'll put that down to inexperience.

It was an all together lovely evening. The London Street gallery thrived with people! It was a lovely sight to see. Everyone staying quite a while and soaking in the creativity. The amount of work and talent that the exhibition displays astounded me.

I was so proud to be a very small part of it.

Here's me with my painting:
