I realized I don&#8217;t think I mentioned it on my blog before I went (or did I??) but it was on my calender so hopefully that served it&#8217;s purpose. Many thanks to the Friends of the Wichita Art Museum for awarding my work with the &#8220;Best of Show&#8221; ribbon. Quite an honor to say the least. It was my first &#8220;Best of Show&#8221; prize I&#8217;ve ever received. Granted, when I look at all the artists around me, I see so much time, effort &#038; spirit in their work, and to single one out seems silly when they should all be awarded. Nonetheless, it&#8217;s always inspiring to be recognized for something I dearly love doing.. makes me want to keep doing it that much more.<\/p>\n<p>My blog has been a little sparse lately trying to keep on top of things for upcoming shows.. but hopefully I can be on top of it a little more in the coming days. My next show is the Mulvane Mountain\/ Plains Art Fair on the Washburn University campus in Topeka. I&#8217;m being interviewed next week on Topeka&#8217;s local news station WIBW in anticipation of the art fair. I&#8217;ll let you know what time to tune in when I hear for sure. That will be interesting for my camera shy self..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thank you so much to you folks for coming out to the Wichita Art &#038; Book Fair last weekend.
