Best Art Awards 2025

 I had forgotten that I had submitted artwork to a huge international competition with multiple categories.  I received an email today stating that I am a winner, Honorable Mention,  in the Open Theme Category !

Considering there is a ton of entries for this competition globally, I am very grateful to have my painting "Spiritual Tuning" in this list of winners.

The link to the site is:  http://www.bestartawards.com/  

The first page is the Open Theme Category and I am in the Honorable Mention section.

There is no financial award for this or many other awards I have been receiving, just the acknowledgment of placing in these international juried competitions and that my artwork is competitive among so many amazing artists.

Juried Glass Exhibition Acceptance!

 My glass piece "Searching" has been accepted in a national juried glass art exhibit titled "Glass Immersed" at d'Art Center in Norfolk, VA.  

This is the piece that has been accepted:

I had submitted this along with a couple of smaller pieces hoping the smaller would be accepted as they are easy to pack and ship.  I have had to decline, sadly, as this panel and stand are quite large, would have to crate it and the shipping costs are just too much for me at this time.  If I was able to ship it and it did not sell at the show then I would have to pay shipping costs to return it.  Oh, well.  Nice to have been accepted into a juried show with national submissions.
