If you missed the show you can check out some of the pictures featured here on their website. </p> <p>Waverly Street Gallery presented its February 2013 invitational show. The annual invitational show has proved to be one of the Gallery’s most exciting and popular events offering a bounty of artistic expression. </p> <p>For the sixth year, the 24 member artists of Waverly Street Gallery invited 24 other exceptional artists to exhibit their work alongside the Gallery artists. The February show featured nationally and locally recognized artists working in almost every medium – painting, sculpture, photography, jewelry, fiber, glass and ceramics. </p> <p>With 48 artists’ works on display, a full spectrum of media and styles was available for the public to enjoy.</p>http://www.dehejiamaat.com/post/46951359115http://www.dehejiamaat.com/post/46951359115Tue, 02 Apr 2013 14:35:54 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/e750f014537fff4deb984be9b575e238/tumblr_mj4690UweO1qaxme0o1_500.jpg"/><br/> Wrapping up after a wonderful evening at the Waverly Art Gallery<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/861616b8e19c4c60f39b5be0a25d4fcd/tumblr_mj4690UweO1qaxme0o2_500.jpg"/><br/> My number one supporter<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/1327a3e3c134255f450f9576dbdf464e/tumblr_mj4690UweO1qaxme0o3_500.jpg"/><br/> This is the picture I got the most love for ;-), fairies are magical<br/><br/> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d6287b22d20e9d1718ea0cfcd2b49fb3/tumblr_mj4690UweO1qaxme0o4_500.jpg"/><br/> Another one of my lovely pieces for show and sale<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/5169003ea22cb509e6fdc509320273ad/tumblr_mj4690UweO1qaxme0o5_500.jpg"/><br/> Here I am standing in front of the garage door window of the Waverly Art Gallery<br/><br/> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/eb7a221d338bda723d525f7d75b6ed32/tumblr_mj4690UweO1qaxme0o6_500.jpg"/><br/> They loved my art so much it was featured in the window!<br/><br/> <p>My beloved friend and photographer Will Allen stopped by at the end of the evening an took some shots of Me, Nile, and my paintings.
