Gainsville Fine Arts Association. Judge’s Recognition for “Family 1943″ – Show title – ‘What We Cherish’.  Here is what the judge said: “As one moves into the main exhibition space, the spectrum of cherished subjects expands.  Ranging from natural spots known and loved to intimate constellations of friends and family, exploring notions of home, nostalgia, childhood, these works encourage the viewer to engage with the emotional attachment on display.  From documentary to fantasy to pastiche, the works in the show reveal a commitment to express this engagement with the beloved.”

The Hub On Canal ‘Choose Your Muse – Ode to the Masters’ Show. 2ND PLACE for “Homage Rousseau”
Judge Ed Hall: “Represented the chosen artist very well.  Good composition and nice use of color.  I also like the high horizon line.  Good control of the medium.  Use of symbolism to tell a story is also captivating.  I would like to see you tell more stories in this way.”
– The competition featured artists from four area art organizations, The Artists’ Workshop, The Art League of Daytona, The Flagler Art League, and The Hub on Canal.
