I am a professional artist living in Tucson and my current work is inspired by the beauty I find in the landscape and local flora and fauna or in this case “fowla”. This is my latest painting part of a series depicting birds of Arizona.
The Arizona Citizens for the Arts will honor Catherine “Rusty” Foley, longtime arts advocate and supporter who served as executive director at AZCA for eight years before her retirement, and Bob Booker, who was executive director at the Arizona Commission on the Arts from 2006 to 2017. They will receive Shelley Awards at the 39th annual Governor’s Arts awards celebration, which will recognize arts across the state, March 26 at the Mesa Arts Center. aesaz.co/ELP/GAA2020/Tickets
