I am a member of the Tennessee Watercolor Society. In 2006 I saw the biennial exhibit of TnWS and knew that this was the group I wanted to join. The paintings I saw in that show were the best I had seen in Tennessee. TnWS has five chapters and presents an exhibition every two years, hosted by one of the chapters. I have had paintings in every show since I became a member: 2008 in Knoxville; 2010 in Chattanooga; 2012 in Memphis; and 2014 in Franklin, TN, hosted by the Nashville chapter. In 2012 in Memphis I received my signature status, but had never earned an award. This year in Franklin the juror, Pat Dews, awarded my painting "Dogwood Fall Foliage" the Totally Transparent Watercolor award. I am happy and honored to have earned a place among artists I admire.
