The Letter at the Butler
Institute
at the Butler Intitute
So thrilled that my painting painting "The Letter" is one of only 20
pastels selected from the PSA 50th Annual Exhibition, 2022, to exhibit
at the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown Ohio. This
exhibit is personally curated by Dr Louis A. Zona, Ph.D., Executive
Director of the Butler Institute, and will show through May 14, 2023.
"The Letter" had won the Flora B. & Joseph V. Giffuni Memorial Award at
the PSA 50th Annual Exhibition last fall, and earned for Rita the
designation of PSA Master Pastelist.
Here it is hanging at the Butler Institute between Brian Bailey and
Wende Caporale. I feel famous!
