Fiesta 2009 in West Valley City to Have Carved Ostrich Egg Shell as Gift For Dignitaries

This is just a teaser of what will be presented on the 30th of May to the Mayor of Boca del Rio Vera Cruz, Mexico. Boca del Rio is the sister city to West Valley City. There will be a big celebration called Fiesta 2009 to mark the gather of the dignitaries of these two cities. I have been given the great privilege of creating the gift which will be given the Boca del Rio. After the event I will show photos of the remaining portions of the egg shell. It is an ostrich egg carved in relief. When I post all the remaining photos I will explain the significance of each image.

Utah Best of State Awards and Recognition

I was nominated some months ago for a very prestigious award and beyond belief I was actually named an medal winner in teh program. The award is more encompassing than just making art. It also includes contributions to the community and the state. The gala is May 30, 2009. I will wear a tuxedo for the first time in my life. I am more grateful than I can find words to express.
