I'm THRILLED to announce the CA Arts Council has chosen me with a 2023 Individual Artist Fellowship! Their congratulation letter shares..."for your exceptional work as an artist, you have been recognized in the Emerging Artist Tier with an award of $5,000 in unrestricted funding to support your artist practice. We are honored to join with our partners across 17 counties in the Central California Region to provide greater support to artists for this prestigious award."  Thank you to the Arts Council and SVCREATES for recognizing me as 1 of 40 Emerging Artist awards, from over 500 applicants and only 1 of 8 awarded artists in my county of Santa Cruz. I'm so honored by this, and excited to use the funds to support my next steps in my love of creating and sharing art and beauty.
