See the blue ribbon? I won an award!
This past Friday was opening night at Artomatic. As it turns out, there was an award and golden ticket waiting for me in my space. I received a Craft Award of Distinction from the James Renwick Alliance [JRA] for my Knit Together installation.

Thank you to the James Renwick Alliance, I'm so honored to have been recognised and selected for this award.

I saw your exhibit and I would give you the award too! Best thing I saw at Artomatic. Of course I was only able to do 3 floors this go around. Still, I'm a knitter so I greatly appreciated your work!
I was at 55 M Street for a BBJ event and saw your display as part of Artomatic and I thought "what a great mixed use concept!" Totally cool and great way of literally thinking outside of the box@
WOW,
Your work is AWE inspiring, thanks for sharing
Lenny says it best...
"not only clever, but also visually intriguing and breaks a very difficult three dimensionality aspect that many "painters" try to broach."
You inspire! :)
Hi Rania,
it has been a while since I last "visit" you. I am very happy to see that your art is going well. I just love how you put together your love for knitting and painting. Congrats! Keep the good stuff coming. Keep in touch,
Christine
