On May 17th, 2013, I attended the opening of National Sculpture Society's 80th Annual Awards Exhibition in Tampa Florida. The exhibition also ran in conjunction with the National Sculpture Society's 2013 Weekend get-together. I enjoyed meeting other nationally renown sculptors and discussing sculpture as well as seeing beautiful Tampa, Florida. My diptych work titled, "Dawn & Dusk" showed beautifully on the pristine white walls of the museum.
The exhibition now moves to Brookgreen Gardens on Pawleys Island, SC from Aug 17 - Oct 27

After the opening of the exhibition Kerry and Jim Volser (native Tampa residents) invited me and my sculptor friends out for dinner, a chance to see some beautiful flamenco dancing, and later a visit to Kerry Vosler's studio. Thank you Jim & Kerry for the great evening!
