I was doing a little research earlier tonight on some art auctions, some of my favorite artists & galleries when I discovered that one of my favorite artists was having an opening reception tonight right here in my city!
I quickly phoned the gallery and not only was she having an opening, but she was THERE & it was FREE!!! Talk about cosmic in every way....
I never got dressed so quickly in my life, as I had about an hour before the reception was ending. Lucky enough, traffic wasn't as bad as I anticipated for a Friday night, 10:30pm, prime time for the party people to be heading out on the town...
Lady luck was on my side...I found what I like to call "Rock Star Parking" right in front of the gallery...lots of little miracles happening all at once!!!!
All I can say is that meeting Yumiko Kayukawa was PURE JOY!!! Not only is she an AMAZINGLY talented artist, she is an AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL PERSON inside and out!!! I truly enjoyed meeting & speaking with her!!! Her presence is truly magical...her energy is pure, calm and sweet which is demonstrated in her art....like a taste of sweet candy!
It won't be long before she is discovered on an even larger scale. To me she is the art industry's "Best Kept Secret"!!!
There were limited copies of her book "THE WILD KINGDOM OF YUMIKO KAYUKAWA" being sold at the Gallery, and guess what?!?! I managed to purchase one & I got her to sign it and date it as well!!!
I will be opening my NEW store any day now, so be sure to keep your eyes on my auctions!!!
