Last night at the opening reception for the South County Art Association‘s 91st Annual Members’ Show, I received an award that means a great deal to me- the Visconti Sculpture Award for best sculpture, awarded for my found object assemblage mask “Dream Eater”
This award is given in memory and honor of the late James Visconti, a brilliant artist in many media who was a friend, teacher and mentor to me many years ago.
I would like to think that he would be very pleased to see how my work has grown and evolved over the years.
Of all the awards I have been given over the years, this one is definitely the closest to my heart.
