BEST IN SHOW! SMS Annual Member Show at the Phipps

This was a complete surprise!

I came back from Eau Claire WI after repairing a piece that was on loan there and stepped into the awards ceremony at the Phipps Center for the Arts.

I was kind of dreading showing this piece there since I just didn't think it would be looked at with the right kinds of jurors especially since it's not a particularly beautiful piece. But I like it and I guess the judges did too.
