Does it look like I was at the Fayetteville Free Library (300 Orchard Street, Fayetteville, NY 13066) for six hours installing this art exhibition?  The hard part was organizing the apparatus then deciding what to put where.  Of course, my desire to have these 8″ x 8″ encaustic paintings at the same height, same distance apart was the most challenging part.

I’ve installed many art shows in my life but this one is up there as one of my most satisfying triumphs.  It’s fan-tastic.

I am so pleased with the way everything looks.  I feel like I manifested a dream because it is such a perfect fit and placing seventy-two paintings in one place is no easy feat.  There are three sections:  the wall space that goes up the ramp and into the gorgeous community room filled with Stickley furniture, the space around the corner, which leads to the juvenile literature section and the stunning area around the fireplace.

There were not enough hooks to hang everything.  Luckily, I have these beautiful mission-style stands and was able to place the remaining paintings on top of the mantle, the book shelves, a piano and two tables.  The result is this homey atmosphere and by that I mean the paintings are very much at home with Stickley, as I am a mission oak kind of girl, as well as a Fan-Girl.

The show is called Fan-Girl.

I will do an artist talk on Tuesday, July 22, 2025 from 5:00-7:00 PM.  This exhibition will conclude at the end of July.  See their web-site for hours of operation.  The library will be closed on holidays and I think closed on Sundays during the summer.

All artwork is for sale.
