Thank You!! **Recipient of the International Encaustic Painting 'Conference' Award**

I wanted to take a moment to say a tremendous "THANK YOU" for the exciting honor I received this past weekend at the International Encaustic Painting Conference.

At Saturday evenings reception for the show "Beauty and Its Opposites" juried by Nicholas Capasso, senior curator of the Decordova Museum, I was thrilled to be presented this years "Conference Award"!
This award is truly the most valuable distinction for me since it was chosen by my peers, who felt my work was most worthy of recognition in the show. I'm incredibly grateful for this honor and I'm humbled that I was acknowledged by my fellow esteemed artists, who continually inspire me everyday.
Once again, Thank you!!
