I am uploading this list of awards so that clients can see my standing in the shows. I have a few more for 2018 that are not listed yet. I must point out that 2017 was a whirlwind year for me. That fall my sister in law became ill and our family was involved in her care. So, 2018 was not as active as the previous year. I am moving into a more commission and less show type of schedule so the awards will not accumulate so dramatically. It has been a blessing to have garnered so many awards and having the recognition gives an artist a boost for one’s biography. There comes a time, though, when the artist may choose a different path. For a number of years I have planned to move away from a concentration of shows. This does not mean I will drop out of the show scene altogether. I would not be content to go a completely different direction because there are too many wonderful people who participate whom I would see much less often. Artists are fun and interesting people and I have been inspired and encouraged by many of them. I hope I can pass this forward.
