Thank you to all who showed up for the opening reception and others who came to see my artwork. I would also like to thank Mrs. Maxine Wilson - Mayor of Coquitlam for her kind words of appreciation and encouragement, as well as other people who shared their comments with me. My special "thank you" goes to Ela Dziewanska and Andrzej Sieja for their priceless help and support before, during and after the show. Finally last but not least, I would like to thank members of "Classical String Quartet" (featuring my sister Monika Sniatowski, violin) for unforgettable touch of classical music during the opening reception.
