I'm honored to receive the Landscape Artist of the Year Award at ADC Gallery West's gorgeous 13,000 square foot new showplace in Cincinnati, OH. More than 3000 artworks were entered from across the US and Internationally, with 300 pieces selected for the Art Comes Alive! Awards Presentation and Reception on January 23, 2021. My oil painting Grandview Sunset Grand Canyon is in the exhibition through March 19, 2021.

The new gallery is designed and furnished with stunning sitting areas and lit by two brilliant chandeliers. Private and corporate collectors were on hand to present purchase awards to artists. Gallery contracts and magazine articles were awarded. We enjoyed a meet and greet at ADC Gallery East with Gallery Director Cassandra giving us a tour of the featured show of four women artists.

Steve and I toured The Taft Historic House/ Taft Museum of Art and learned about the history of Cincinnati and the support for emerging artists by patrons and sponsors from the 1830's to the present. Sunday, Cincinnati Art Museum featured native artist Frank Duveneck's (1848-1919) career and contributions to the city. I learned about an artist I had admired but had not studied previously.
