Evan and I had an awesome time at the St. Catherine's Patron of the Arts 19th Annual Photography, Art & Poetry Exhibition this past weekend! The multi-faceted and multi-dimensional show featured over 700 pieces of art of all kinds (and all ages), including oil and acrylic paintings, watercolors, pastels, mixed media, sculpture, as well as photography, poetry, live musical performances, and fantastic refreshments. It was one of the most enjoyable and best-quality shows I've ever had the pleasure to be a part of. To make it more fun, the show offered 1st, 2nd, 3rd place and Judges Choice Awards in various categories. The prospectus said winners would be notified by email the Friday before the show. I was hoping to hear something, but the Friday came and went and I assumed the awards went to other people. Evan and I were both disappointed, but we went to the show excited and expecting to have a good time. As we made our way among all the stunning artwork and poems, we discovered that I had won three awards! There wasn't enough time to notify the winners this year, and the surprise left me stunned and floating on a cloud! I won: Judges Choice Award - Art, Transformation First Place Art Award - Mixed Media, Aslan Spirituality Award - Poetry, Your Love Heals Me Thank you so much to all the judges!! I'm very grateful to Maude Carolan Psych, a fellow member of the North Jersey Christian Writers Group for telling me about the show. Evan's a big part of my success-- his encouragement, support and feedback are invaluable!

One of Evan's co-workers saw this here on my "Fine Art" page and inquired if it was for sale. YES, many of my pieces are for sale! :) I hope to have more collages available for sale soon! Please contact me for pricing & shipping info. My Mom has a love for decorated sugar cookies going back to her childhood.
They've become a 'specialty' of mine, partly because I know she likes them so much! :o) Hi, Mom!!! Evan and I had the pleasure of meeting artist Jeffrey Green (right) and his wife, Cherie, at the Faith Through the Arts "How Marvelous God's Greatness" Show opening reception on Sunday. When I first walked past his piece, Carol, Prayer Series I, it caught my eye -- I thought it was a really interesting photograph. I was stunned to learn that Jeffrey created it all with colored pencils!! The piece is a loving tribute to his mother, Carol. Jeff is a super-nice guy and has an awesome testimony of God's love and grace in his life. Not to mention, his work is magnificent!!! Jeff, Thank you for providing these photos of the show. To see more of his work go to:
