This month, I had the privilege to be inducted as a new member of NAWA, the National Association of Women Artists. Hard to believe it is the oldest women’s fine art organization in the country, created in 1889.

Before the opening reception in NAWA gallery Midtown Manhattan, where one of my ‘Mother series” painting is exhibited, the new members who were able to make the trip in snowy New York City were invited into the induction ceremony in the prestigious Rubin Museum. A very moving moment I was glad to share with friends and family who came to support me.

Now, as a new member, I plan to help NAWA throughout the year with their event and exhibition program.
