I am honored to announce that I am the recipient of a 2010 Grant from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation.
The Pollock-Krasner Foundation, Inc. was established in 1985 for the sole purpose of assisting artists of merit with financial need through the generosity of Lee Krasner, one of the leading abstract expressionist painters and widow of Jackson Pollock.
