Arka Gallery, 19th International Biennial of Textile Miniatures Award

I received an award from Arka Gallery, Lithuania by the judges for my two artworks submitted to the 10th International Biennial of Textile Miniatures "Ethno". The object of my artwork was to create two artworks as if I had to leave my home in less than 30 minutes.  I created these two incomplete screen prints of a family running for their life.

I am a member of Louise Webb's memoir writing class. Louise was a reporter on the local newspaper beat here in the Bay Area of California at one time. As I listened to her stories it truly sounds like Louise had a really interesting life.  At our last class she told us how she had interviewed Truman Capote once.  I could listen to Louise talk all day!

Back to my story, once a month someone from her Memoir Class is chosen to write for The Outlook which is the newspaper for Saratoga Senior Center. I was honored when they wanted to print my story for this Thanksgiving issue.
