I was honored to accept the second place award at Art in the Park in Staunton, Virginia on May 29 and 30, 2010. The judge, from Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, took many hours and spoke with all the artists before making her selections.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful…
I’m taking my usual winter break for the month of January. So far this month, that seems like a good decision. Teaching begins January 12 at Mary Baldwin College and the next week at Piedmont Virginia Community College. Both jobs keep me busy while I recharge my creative juices.
Happy 2010!
