Hello, Beautiful has a new home

The juried 2 and 3D portion of North Charleston Arts Fest has come and gone and it was an outstanding show this year. The energy in the room was wonderful after so many months of art in isolation. Lots of hard work was on display the student art was uplifting. I know what it took to get it all there!

Hello, Beautiful is a painting that begs a longer look. Truthfully when I started it my focus was on the mannequins and how funny they looked. But later I saw the woman was in a sort of conversation with the chorus line and the paradigm shifted.

So I'm very pleased to say that in addition to earning an Honorable Mention for Hello, Beautiful the work earned a Purchase Award by the city of North Charleston. The painting will be part of their permanent collection on display at city hall where all kinds of people will see it going about their daily lives. Thank you to Ann Simmons, Deputy Director Cultural Arts Department on the left, and Kyle Lahm, Cultural Arts Director. It doesn't get much better than this.
