A Dream Come True--IAPS 2019

34th  Juried Exhibition/ 2019
International Association of Pastel Societies

Four years ago I attended the my first IAPS convention and was overwhelmed with the beautiful art on exhibit in the 32nd Exhibition. I stood and studied the fabulous paintings each day I was there. At no time did I ever imagine that my art would be included in an IAPS exhibition.

Fast forward 4 years and there in the corner is my painting, Scenes from Above--Cyclist, among more than 100 paintings hung in this years show! I am beyond thrilled, there were over 1000 entries from around the world. Many thanks to the jurors of selection and awards, Andrew McDermott, Liz Haywood-Sullivan, Aline Ordman, and Sally Strand!!

I returned last night but the activities continue through tomorrow. I took a fabulous 2 day workshop and saw 2 demos, taking away valuable knowledge that I hope to apply and improve my paintings!
