Yvonne chosen for state-wide exhibit….

If you seen her work, you know why she was picked – she has evocative, graceful work which displays a bright spirit – here’s more from the show’s people (remember when she won that pizza-making contest in New York? Here’s more about that from the 2007 Update):

Yvonne in action

Islander Yvonne Buijs-Mancuso of Friday Harbor has been accepted into the 2011 CVG Show, a state-wide juried art show held at the Collective Visions Gallery in Bremerton, WA.

Accepted artists will be competing for $6,000+ in cash prizes plus potential purchase awards and will be on display at CVG during the month of February.
