I couldn’t Stop the Night • Acrylic on canvas • Carly Swenson • 2015
Out of over 600 entries, my two works were accepted into this year’s Peace Project publication and traveling art exhibition (consisting of 150 pieces).
Life was sort of crazy at the time, with starting a new job and other craziness, and I forgot to purchase a book (and they appear to have sold out of 2015). While I have no idea what/where my art appeared in the book, it was fun to one of my pieces included on the poster/postcard for the exhibition.
Also! My work, They Never Need Know…, was selected as one of three Prism Award winners (ten awards given total). And that was very exciting for me.
