Dear Friends and Family,

Where do we go from here? Are you from here? From here on out, things will be... From here on, I will...

The phrase "from here" implies being in a place with some perspective, perhaps with some elevation having been gained, yet one in which we don't stay long, only to catch our breath, anticipate the next steps, and charge back in. "From here" also may imply a place of origin and a different, desirable destination.

My latest series of work has been done in such figurative and literal places. The series "From Here" will be hung at the Natsoulas gallery from March 15th to April 2nd. In the work you might recognize the physical places I've lived this year, along with some gained consideration and hope.

We'll have a reception on the evening of Saturday, March 25th from 7-9pm, and I would love to see you all THERE!

I invite you to preview the work here at juliebsmiley.com. Over the coming days I'll be adding photos of these works in progress to <THIS> Notes section of the site.

With love from here to eternity,

Julie

PS. How can I not leave you with some music?! Here's one that fits.
