SO Excited for NAGOMI to win FIRST PLACE in the Marin Society of Art "Bold and Free" exhibition!  It's my first "First Place" and I couldn't be more thrilled!  The exhibition was juried by Susan Goetz Zwirn who is an amazing abstract artist and Graduate Director and Professor of Art Education at Hofstra University.  NAGOMI is part of a series entitled "SATORI" where I am exploring the Japanese esthetic and spirituality.  NAGOMI has to do with finding balance in all areas of our lives and I was especially moved to paint this concept because it was something I was attempting to do in my own life.
