WINNING BIG AT THE 2015 VIRGINIA STATE FAIR

I took the plunge and submitted five pieces (two screenprints and three photographs) to the Adult Arts & Crafts competition at the 2015 Virginia State Fair. I’ll admit I was a bit apprehensive when I visited on the 3rd day of the fair, anxious to discover how I’d – ahem – “faired.”

So absolutely amazed by your piece US Capitol, Winter. I’d love to have that in my home! -Judge

As it turns out, I did better than I could have hoped. Five pieces, but six ribbons!

First place and Best in Division, mixed media, for my screenprint US Capitol, Winter. Second place in black and white architectural photography for US Capitol, House Side and Dome. Another second place for black and white landscape photography with Tree, Skyline Drive, Winter. A third place in acrylic art for my screenprint El Gran Gallo. And finally, a third place in digital manipulation photography for Barn, Gettysburg.
