The First Lady Presents...On February 11, 2020, I was selected as the inaugural artist for “The First Lady Presents…” program. In the beginning, it was to be a quarterly selection, with my artwork hanging in the Governor’s mansion for 3 months, allowing visitors touring the mansion to see it, then the next awarded artist's works would go on display. Well, we all know what happened when COVID 19 hit.
During COVID, the program changed to a monthly selection, in partnership with the Nevada State Museum, providing a “fun and insightful comparison of an artifact in the museum collection with the artwork of a contemporary Nevadan artist.” On On September 20, 2021, they were finally able to restart the program and hold a reception, for me and four other local artists chosen during the shut-down. The photo is my painting, “Summer Rein,” with First Lady and Governor Sisolak, during the reception. My husband and I chatted with them for quite a bit. Dave had no idea he was talking to the Governor until later in the evening. |
