On pretty short notice the owners of both restaurants offered me the opportunity to hang my art there. Awesome! This is pretty special to me, because Cafe Metro Denville is one of my oldest, and best, memories of New Jersey.
Let me take you on a little time warp, back to 2005. I was still living in Switzerland, David in Germany and we were seeing each other on the weekends. At the end of 2005 his delegation was to end and he was preparing to go back to the US. And I was doing the same. I gave my Swiss employer notice and was ready to move to the US, come December 2010. To prepare ourselves a little for New Jersey, we took a weekend trip in August 2005 and spent it here, around Morristown, stayed in Madison and basically explored cities, towns etc. and… went to eat at Cafe Metro. Which David knew from when he lived here before and liked for the healthy and partly vegetarian food. However, as usual, things have a way of not turning out the way they are planned. David got a job offer in Germany that was too good to refuse and so, instead of moving to the US in 2005, I moved back to Germany, we got married and lived there happily for another five years, before moving to the US in 2011.
Anyways, so Cafe Metro Denville is one of my earliest memories here and since last year we have been there more than once. And now, my art is on display on the walls of this very great and well known restaurant. Can you imagine how excited I am?
