Gallerist Denise Fairweather draws upon her life experience in design, principally as a senior level project designer/ Allied Member of the American Society of Interior Designers. She thinks in terms of staging when designing exhibits.
“I do see staging art as a kind of a set. When an exhibit is set, complete with the proper lighting, signing and art on display, so to speak, I want to see a perfect scene, for the artists, of course, for the visitors. The assembled accessories are placed to complement the art created with a specifically appointed theme … all working together to create a perfect exhibition.”

Q: What goes into the thought process when selecting an exhibition title, you ask?
A: An exhibition title is selected one year in advance. HELLO SUNSHINE was chosen to herald in the Indian Summer season, at time when the sun, seems to (finally) shine on the North coast lands.
Yet, too, as in the August 2020 exhibition, a theme became a metaphor in relation to current events happening; it became a beacon of light, artistically speaking, amidst all the the darkness in the world happening during COVID-19.
