On April 24, I received word that my third piece was juried into the 33rd Annual Colored Pencil Society of America's International Exhibition, to be held at the Strathmore Mansion and Gallery in Bethesda, MD. This is huge for me, since it was my third accepted piece. I now have the privilege and distinction of displaying "CPSA" after my name. For the coloured pencil world, it is similar to displaying "PhD" after your name. I will attend the awards banquet on August 1st to accept my award in person. I worked so hard for this, so I am SO EXCITED!!!
