PWAS Member Stephanie McGee Congratulations!
Stephanie McGee
Stephanie wins the second prize at Creative Brush Studio and P-Art-Ners Best of the Region 4 - Award of Excellence. A big well done Stephanie! She is a new PWAS member and two of her really cool quilling artworks are entered in the "Best of the Region 4" at Creative Brush Studio, in Manassas, VA and will be on display until November 17, 2021. "Peacock Fan" and "Flamingo" are her two pieces.
There are 65 pieces entered in the show and 2 more awards will be announced on November 5th - Artists' Choice and People's Choice. All of the Artists voted on their favorite and non-Artists voted on theirs.
The only way to truly appreciate the art is to see it IN PERSON. You can really appreciate the color, the details, the textures by seeing it with your own eyes. That being said, I captured photos of nearly all the entries and -can you imagine how hard this was to judge!!??
