Our friend Paige has been painting and painting and painting beautiful, light-filled, glowing masterpieces for quite some time.  And, for quite some time, they have been hiding in her not-so-light-filled apartment.  Yesterday afternoon, they came out of hiding and took their proud and dignified places on the sprawling and blank back-room walls of Ephemera.  Tonight, our friend Paige will be showing them off to a small slice of the world.

This is Paige’s first art show, appropriately titled “My First Art Show.”  Today, Miss Ephemera salutes Miss Paige because taking those things that you love the most (so many times those things that you love so secretly and quietly) and showing them off to the world can be such a scary and thrilling thing to do.  “Hello, World!  Here are my paintings all hung on this wall!” or  “Hello, World!  Here is the business that I’ve always wanted to start!” or “Hello, World!  Here is my voice that I’ve always wanted to hear through a microphone!”  Jump, jump, jump!  Whatever it is!  If for no other reason than the FEELING of DOING it.  Show it and tell it (and I promise that your life will feel much more interesting!).

If you are in town, stop by tonight!  We’ll be here admiring from 6:00 until 9:00 pm and would love to have you join us!
