A wise mentor once told me that if you paint from your heart you will not go wrong. I've tried to heed that advice and this year it certainly paid off.
In April, 2021 I received notification that I had been granted Signature Status in the National Watercolor Society (NWS). What an honor! Especially since the jurors are three artists whose work I so admire and respect - Katherine Chang Liu, Dean Mitchell and John Salminen.
