It’s time to get busy framing. Two of my works have been selected for the prestigious National League of American Pen Women (NLAPW) Biennial art exhibit. NLAPW is an organization of professional women artists, musicians, writers, and allied artists. The exhibit, held every other year, will be from April 1st – May 31st at the NLAPW national headquarters in Washington, D.C. in the historic “Pen Arts Building” off DuPont Circle. For the NLAPW Biennial I know it is rare for an artist to have more than one work selected. In this case I’m believe the juror thought she was looking at work by two different artists. Two different mediums, such different styles, even I wouldn’t think they were by the same person.
The biggest surprise was yet to come … the photograph, “Under Water,” received 2nd place by the judge. Although both works will be on display, the orange flowers will have a red ribbon hanging on it.
Flowers are distorted by being submerged in water.
