I was surprised and honored that two of my photos were recognized in the 2020 Scholastic Art Competition for the Twin Tier Region in New York and Pennsylvania. My photo of Vivian in the water received an honorable mention, and one of Scarlet that I shot in a greenhouse received a Silver Key Award. It was inspiring to be recognized along side so many talented artists and the Clemens Center awards ceremony and opening reception for the exhibit at the Arnot Art Museum in Elmira were special events.
