State of Delaware Employees' Exhibit

 April 2018

An acrylic abstract titled The Storm Within was selected to exhibit in the State of Delaware Employees' Exhibition sponsored by the National Arts Program® where over 200 participants entered. A total of 28 awards were given in five categories and four Special Awards categories. The Storm Within was among the Special Awards received for Abstract Art. 

The Storm within was my solidarity of the “Me Too” movement. As debris wash up on the shores and we retore and use driftwood to make some of the most beautiful and structurally sound pieces of art, furniture or whatever it is transformed into, this art piece transformed and revealed feelings I did even realized existed.  When it was selected to be a part of the exhibit, I was honored, but when it won a special award, never given in this category prior … it was like they heard me … that they understood on a level that wrong doesn’t have to be seen to know it’s wrong … that it’s a level of understanding that can be translated into a space where no words are needed.
