Parking Lights
I'm honored Zinnias on Blue, Parking Lights, and Tim Sitting In are juried in the Art Exhibition of the National League of American Pen Women's 51st Biennial Conference. The juror was Nanette Maciejunes, former Executive Director and CEO of the Columbus Museum of Art.
The art awards judge, Cat Sheridan (Director/Curator of Ohio Arts Council Riffe Gallery) gave Parking Lights an Honorable Mention Award. She commented, "An example of an artist that has mastery over the material and a way of capturing and evoking memories of gorgeous, fiery sunsets in unexpected places for the viewer. Perhaps a call to find beauty wherever we are."
