Pittsburgh Watercolor Society Signature Membership

 I am honored to have received a letter from the Pittsburgh Watercolor Society that I have achieved signature membership status by having been accepted into 3 of the past 5 years PWS Aqueous Open International Exhibitions. I am in the second group of eight members in the organization's seventy-six year history to achieve this honor (ie. one of sixteen artists). I was born & raised in the Pittsburgh area, so this is a special honor to me.
