Before I left for my trip I received a pleasant email from Marisa Sage, Owner/Director of Like the Spice Gallery, inviting me to the gallery to see the current exhibition The World We Live In, The Worlds We Create. The email was so inviting that I made a point to check out the space and I'm glad I did.
Diana Puntar, LIVED LIVE EVIL DEVIL, 2008Plywood, synthetic wood, phosphorescent paint, reflective glass bead, lawn ornament.
Upon entering the gallery I was warmly greeted by two gallery employees, who were kind enough to introduce me to Marisa. Marisa was equally friendly and excited to share with me the numerous events happening at the gallery. After having a tour of the gallery it became evident to me how Like the Spice Gallery has remained successful amidst such a difficult economic climate where many galleries have been forced to close their doors. Kudos to everyone at Like the Spice Gallery for your kindness, warmth and energy, not to mention the terrific artwork. Keep up the great work and best wishes in your continued success!
