Julie Duschenes at Mueller Gallery
Well we were really thrilled with the opening at Mueller Gallery on Saturday evening March 13. Lots of the community turned out to see Julies’ recent work. With opening at the SAAG, the Trianon and the Potemkin – it was a big night for the art galleries. Thank goodness that our gallery is a joint project between Jo and I…as I was busy photographing a wedding till 9:30 or so – and arrived to find the gallery full and sweet music drifting out of the studio. Jo had left the wedding early to get back and open the gallery for the evening…)
Murray Nelson played all night and was joined by Jolene ______, who is a new singer and is developing her craft beautifully…we really enjoyed her singing!
An opening is a party for the gallery and the artist to celebrate a body of work. Artists often spend years in between openings – so each one truly is a special event…and it is most fun when lots of people turn out.
Reclusive co-owner of the building (with Levi Cox) Ryan Juss turned up briefly to view Julies’ exciting new work. He was so taken he made a special trip back to the gallery late into the evening to get another dose of luscious colour. Murray really did play late and we were all just loving it and wishing it would never end. But, as they say…

Thanks so much to Cecil Finch for photographing the event and providing these files. Great work! Jo’s sister Barb catered the event and made a beautiful presentation of yummy things! Thanks again to everyone for coming out!
