Springville Art Show ~ High School All State Awards

Rachel hates attention. Getting her to pose with her art was like pulling teeth! We had a nice afternoon at the Springville Museum of Art where she was awarded a Merit award and received an unexpected cash award as well! The talent of these young people is inspiring and I was amazed by the quality of their works.

It was fun to have Gena, Michael and Grandma with us. They are here to bring Michael to live with us while he finds a job and a place to live. He will attend U.V.U. in the fall.

Rachel was informed this week that another two of her pieces have made it into a show in Orem at the SCERA Community Center. We are so proud of how she has used and magnified her talents!

It was way cool everybody... Rachel I'd still like an autographed copy of your "Well Worn Shoes." Color computer scan is just fine!
