I was excited to find out this past Saturday that I won the “Best of Show” award for the Spring Fiesta in the Park at Lake Eola in Downtown Orlando. This was my fifth show since beginning to display at festivals and my first award. I had a fairly good idea based on the judges reaction and time spent in my booth that I was likely to get an award, but I had no idea that it would be the top award for the festival. It is a wonderful feeling anytime someone chooses to buy one of my pieces, but it was a truly amazing feeling to finally have my work acknowledged in an official way.
Thanks go out to the judges and volunteers with the Fiesta in the Park committee and to all that have supported my work in the past.
