It is with a great deal of pride that I’m announcing that I’m one of the 2012 Maryland States Arts Council’s grant winners for Individual Artists. The judges went through all of the submissions and “on the basis of artistic excellence”, (I really like that part!), chose me as one of the 21 winners in the Visual Arts category of Crafts. (That category includes all forms of crafts from pottery, jewelry, woodworking and textiles.) I’ve been trying since 1981 for this grant, as the category for which I’m eligible only comes up every few years. Now, I’m faced with the dilemma of having to spend the money by the end of June to further my artistic career.(I’ve spent the money a number of ways already in my mind.) Anyway, just wanted to share with you all how I’ve been doing the happy puppy wiggle since Sunday night when I found out.
