I had the absolute pleasure of attending the Polaris digital projection art show held here last week. Not only was the show amazing but Joelle's studio space was an unexpectedly life changing place for me and left a lasting impression as did she herself. So much so that I returned again a mere week later to attend her open studio hours and share with her how special it was and to give thanks for her opening up her space to allow such an amazing experience for me to take place. I wanted to personally share the fact that she may not be aware of the way by which her simple gesture of opening up that space had an unknowingly positive ripple effect on not only me but likely many others in attendance as well. Joelle was very gracious in accepting that message as well as welcoming me and my energy so warmly back into that special space. This second visit also allowed me to observe, wonder and amaze in her creativity and work that now hung back up on the walls from wich they were stripped from to accommodate the projection show. I also got to see a true artist at work as she created a new work in my presence and welcomed me to join and assist in the creation. Such an honor. If you ever have even the briefest of moments to interact with Joelle and her beautiful energy during her open studio hours or a future show held in said space, don't hesitate! Perhaps you too may have a life changing experience.
