Just a wee little blog to announce the opening for a short 2 week show "Pure Abstraction" Abstract mixed media works on canvas being held Havana Gallery. The show went up last Thursday and I was warmly received by Havana restaurant staff and gallery curator Patrick as well as the restaurant owner. I do have to say that the staff were incredibly enthusiastic, curious, excited, and supportive as I set up - Thank you all!

I decided not to have an opening as I chose to go away with my family to Whidbey Island that weekend instead --- see photos of my short getaway on an upcoming "breathing space" blog post -- however if you are interested in purchasing any of the works I'd be delighted to meet with you there. info@debchaney.com (604) 736-5111.

As a side note, during my art show set up I got to see the back theatre which to be honest until now I didn't even know existed! It's super cute hidden away behind the restaurant and can fit 50 people with shows ongoing and comedy being featured on the weekends.
