State Fair Winners!

It's that time of year when I head to the Utah State Fair to see giant 

vegetables, consume crazy food and enter the fine arts show.  

Several of my students entered the art exhibit along with Lucia, my 

studio mate.  It was fun to walk into the Fine Arts Building and see 

that we had earned ribbons. 

Lucia won first place in the Professional Division for her painting, 
"Holy Cow."

I won fifth place in the Professional Division for "Seven Heart Rocks."

Pam McCullough won the Shirley Venus Excellence in Art Memorial Award" award for her painting, "Egret" as well as a three month membership to the Intermountain 
Society of Artists (ISA).

Jackie Lalor won an Honorable Mention ribbon for her portrait of a Vietnamese 

woman, "My." She also won Best of Show for her sculpture, "Strong Girl."

It can be a little intimidating to enter a work of art at the Utah 

State Fair but you will never win a ribbon without entering a piece. 

It's worth the risk!
