Heart for the Arts Benefit

I know this post is a bit last minute, but I have been sick since last week. So sick that I can't even attend this event tonight. So bummed. But here are the details in case you can make it.

More info can be found here at the event page.

I created a new piece for the this "heart" themed event:​

"Hope"  20x24" acrylic on canvas. This is one of the selected pieces included in the event's Live Auction!​

State Fair Awards Ceremony

So, in triple digit heat (and against everyone's better judgement) Chris, Erin, and I went to the California State Fair last Saturday for the Fine Arts Exhibit Awards Ceremony.

I picked up my Merit Award ribbons and received the Viewpoint Photographic Art Center Award for Color Photography for "Madonna and Child"! And from the Exhibit Catalog:

Juror's Statement

The color photograph Madonna and Child references 16th century ecclesiastical artwork. This artist usea a Madonna paired with a cherubic-baby doll and a Renaissance-color palette to create a double-take piece of hyperbole that is a thought provoking and imaginative piece. - Sharmon Goff

Find a nice cool day (at least below 100 degrees!) and go to the fair before it closes on the 29th!
