I am very happy to announce that my portrait "Emily in Blue Dress" has been juried in as a Finalist at the 2009 Fall Exhibition of The Portrait Society of Atlanta. I am one of 22 finalists in this national competition, which is an indeed an honor, as judging is by premier artist Michael Shane Neal, who has painted illustrious figures including Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor and U.S. Senator Bill First (having completed over 400 commissioned portraits), as well as received landscape painting awards from the National Arts Club and the Audubon Artists of America.
"Emily in Blue Dress" will be on display at the Hudgens Center for the Arts in Duluth, Georgia from September 17th to Dec. 31st. If you're in the area be sure to stop by for this lovely exhibition!
