An award for Kaleidoscope of Memories

This is a collage painting created for the Memories exhibit for Mayslake Peabody Estate in Oakbrook, Illinois. It is a collage on canvas, measuring 18 X 24. The Midwest Collage Society of which I am President had over 90 pieces of art on exhibit for two months. Today was the closing reception. I was delighted to have received an Honorable Mention Award. The judge's comments: "I love the writing against the defined circles, there is a balance of what we 'say' speaks to the universe."

Second Place

This is a photo of me standing next to my acrylic on Yupo paper entitled Fugue. This was one of my early attempts in working on this interesting artificial paper called Yupo. I recently had it shown in a church lobby and it is currently on exhibit at the National University of Health Sciences in Lombard, Illinois. It used be called the Chiropractic College. Well the good news is that this show was judged last week and I received 2nd place award. That is always exciting. This piece will then be eligible for another show entitled Best of the Best and will be on exhibit in April. I hope to have 3 entries at that show. Only art that has won an award in the last year can be shown.
