Here is the blog I just wrote for the Women Aviation Artists website for an event I attended last month:
American Society of Aviation Artists 25th Annual International Aerospace Art Exhibition kicked off last month with a Forum and Awards Banquet in Pensacola, Florida at the National Museum of Naval Aviation. It followed the museum’s Centennial Celebration of Naval Aviation. This year’s exhibit has been given top viewing priority just inside the entrance and will be displayed through August 31, 2011. Out of 77 accepted works, 9 of them were done by Women Aviation Artists. Cher Pruys and Pati O’Neal both won awards in the General Aviation Category. Here are the accepted works:
- Merana Cadorette – Off Duty at the I Bar
- Crissie Murphy – For Those Who Keep ‘em Flying
- Pati O’Neal – Afternoon Delights – Second place award winner in the general aviation category given by Aviation Week and Space Technology
