In July 2009, I was honored to be designated a Signature Member of Silk Painters International, an organization of which I’ve been a member since about 1999.
Signature Membership is awarded to those artists who have demonstrated remarkable skill, unsurpassed excellence, and exquisite artistry in silk painting. This is the highest level of membership that can be attained by an artist in SPIN—an international organization of silk painters. SPIN authorizes this artist to use the initials MSP after their name to indicate that in the eyes of their artistic peers and the world, the artist is a Master Silk Painter.
With this honor comes the responsibility to promote and nourish the ancient art of applying color to silk in numerous ways, always striving to be original, energetic and respectful of this medium.
A word of advice! It is what you learn after you know it all that makes the difference…
