[Comments on receiving the Grand Prize]
What a surprise! At first I did not think it could be true.
Me, win a grand prize? While I have received numerous awards
and recognition for my acrylic paintings and other artworks
locally, I had never won anything international. I am so appreciative
to Tory for their recognition of my "Faces of Color"
digital artwork. I am also very appreciative to my Art Teacher,
Dr. Marvin Grossman, for introducing me to your digital art
contest. As I have been developing my art skills he has been
my guiding light.
Originally, I was just experimenting with the different tools
in "painter", but then I saw a face developing.
Faces and how diverse they are have always fascinated me.
I wanted to illustrate how could look so different and still
look the same. I choose red, white and blue as the colors
of the features on the faces because I was in a very patriotic
mood. I think it is wonderful that Toray is using the upcoming
forms of digital art in their contests to show the world the
talents of digital artists. I am honored to be recognized
as one of these new digital artists.
