My art exhibition at the Community Gallery at Gosford Regional Gallery from 21-23 August 2015 went well, but there were a large number of people who for various reasons were unable to attend.
So for those who were unable to come, this blog-post is primarily for you, although for the rest of us it is a chance to re-live it.
First up is a look at what the exhibition space looked like before the hanging of artworks started.

First up is a look at what the exhibition space looked like before the hanging of artworks started.
And here is a slideshow of what it looked like once the hanging was finished. Although there is one picture missing (Child's Bedroom) and the majority of the plinths are not in position.
Here is a 5 min 36 sec video of the exhibition, beginning from my earliest 2011 works and going through to the latest 2015 works.
The speeches were on Saturday 22 August at 11.30am, and my dad Paul Cavanagh started them off. Then I had a few words, and mum had the last word or two. The cake was an original creation by Alisha Harwood and tasted great.
The video below is 5 min 41 sec long and contains those speeches.
In this next photo you can see the plinths for the guest book, the sign up sheet for notification when my book gets published and the sign up sheet for my 8 times a year newsletter. Please use the Contact page if you would like to add your name and email address to any of those sign up sheets, or the Comment section below in lieu of a guest book.
If you would like to know more about individual artworks the following two documents will help. Each one has a thumbnail of the artwork together with a brief description of it. These were the labels under each artwork, colour coded for year of creation.

Over 370 people viewed the exhibition over the weekend. A little over 100 greeting cards were sold, together with at least 6 of my 2016 calendars, and a very pleasing number of artworks were sold to family and friends.
My special thanks firstly to my parents and grandparents who helped so much in setting the exhibition up and manning it. Other special thanks to the members of the Central Coast Art Society, the members of Hospital Art and the members of the Children's Book Writers and Illustrators of the Hunter and Central Coast who came to support me. To family and friends who traveled some distance to come, my thanks to you as well.
