I am grateful to be a recipient of this year’s SOLA Award. Started by Ginny Ruffner and Artist Trust SOLA awards $3000 unrestricted grants to three female artists over the age of 60 “for their energy, vision, persistence, and dedication to maintaining creative momentum over the long haul. ” Congratulations to MalPina Chan and Nancy Warden for their SOLA Awards and to Sherry Markovicz for the Twining Humber Award!
