Dear Marina,

What a wonderful homecoming surprise! I am thrilled for you, and that your work is so recognized! Brava!

[Cindy Procious]

Congratulations, Marina! Very well deserved.

Wow - you are such a quick study - who knows where you'll be a year from now!?

[Marina Dieul]

Linda, Enzie, Chris, Cindy : thank you so much for your support, it means a lot to me.

[Janel Maples]

Congratulations Marina,

Like everyone else here, I am not surprised. Your work is beautiful.

These will be displayed in my neck of the woods so I will try to make a point to see them in person.

Again, congratulations.

Janel

[Marina Dieul]

Thank you, Janel!
I'm a bit envious, I love to see real works, and this will be certainly a great exhibition to see!

[Marina Dieul]

Hello everybody!
I'm glad to announce you that Mr Everett Raymond Kinstler liked my drawing " Unveiling" enough to give it the First Prize in the drawing category.
Mr Kinslter commented that it is a "fun picture with an appealing simplicity; a particular child, sensitively rendered."

Thanks so much for those who crossed their fingers for me, you can uncross them now!

[Michele Rushworth]

Marina, this is so well deserved! I've always loved this image. As I said when I first saw it, it's definitely one of the best portraits of a child I've ever seen, at least in my opinion -- and maybe in Kinstler's too!
