Layla is very new to the world of art in Second Life. I was introduced to her by a friend of mine that I have known for about 10 months here in second Life. She knew that Layla was interested in displaying her art in SL. MMMorgaine also knew I owned a gallery and that I know the ins and outs of how to display the art, the market for art, the different types of art in sl.
So once we were introduced, within days, I introduced Layla to Hope McAlpine who was in charge of the art at the 911 Hope and Remembrance expo in 2nd life. I had just displayed 6 of my photographs at the exhibit. Layla displayed her first 6 photographs at the art exhibit there. I was thrilled to help her get a start there.
I asked her shortly after her work was put up there, to display as a guest artist in my gallery. She was so excited about it she took some very special photographs just to show at my gallery. So please come and give this new SL artist the support and welcome that we all would give to an artist! Below is information about Layla.

As a young girl Layla's father had a dark room in their home, for the development of his personal photography. She loved her fathers photography and took an interest to it. In 1998 she began photographing landscapes. In 2004 Layla attended the Finishing School for Decorative Painting, Decorative Moldings and Wood FInishing. She has designed and painted homes for RL clients.
The Earth, WInd, Fire and Water Collection is comprised of several different elements found in nature that embody the essence of these elements.
Layla uses photography and decorative painting to express her view of the world as she sees it. She captures nature in her own unique way.
"The simplest things can become beautiful when captured on camera." Her background in decorative painting is displayed in the Fire and Earth sections.

The Exhibit opening will have live music. This music will be provided by Ghostie Wildmist. Ghostie is not new to SL, but she is new to singing in SL.
I met Ghostie when she was half owner of Back to the Eighties club. I contracted her to have the singer I was managing sing at the club. Things happen in RL and SL and sometimes we are thrown in a new direction. That happened to Ghostie to the benefit of all of us live music fans. Ghostie will be performing live for us at the Earth Wind Fire and Water Exhibit opening party
.
A little bit of information on Ghostie follows as well as her personal message to us all.

Keeping the audience engaged with her delightful charm and sexy voice, she'll have your venue filled with happy people.
Singing tunes from Peggy Lee to Dierks Bentley she keeps a smile on peoples faces.
A Word from Ghostie: Hey Everyone. So yeah, I am brand new to performing in SL, but with the support and encouragement
of my friends it looks like a new journey has begun. Looking forward to growing and progressing with you all beside me!
