Seeing the work of an Instagram friend, Monica Ikegwu, and an exciting exhibition


My photo is far from perfect, but
these are Monica Ikegwu's two
spectacular paintings in the Culture
exhibition currently on at the AGO in Toronto.

When Monica Ikegwu announced on Instagram that she was going to have 
paintings on exhibit in the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, I was so excited
that I'd get to see her work in person.  I told her that I couldn't wait to
see her paintings, because I am a total fan of everything she creates.

We visited the gallery yesterday, and saw these beautiful pieces.  Everyone 
looking at them was in awe.  People were posing in front of the art, so thrilled
with seeing her work.

I got home and DMd Monica about the wonderful response to her work.
The entire Culture exhibition was excellent.  As I said yesterday, I met
some wonderful people and had great conversations at the gallery.
I can't wait to get back and see Monica's work again while the show is on.

I came home and looked up videos of Monica talking about her work, and loved 
watching them.  I hope you make a point of going and seeing the Culture exhibition,
and as Monica's work is at the entrance, you can't miss it.


Have a loving your life day.
