Lt. Governor
Becky Skillman
announces the
winners of the
2009 Hoosier Women Artists
Competition
Charlene Marsh of Nashville is
named a winner
|
|
Last week I unveiled
the seven winners of my third annual
Celebration of Hoosier Women Artists
competition. Charlene Marsh of
Nashville is one of the seven
winners who will have her artwork,
Sciscoe Creek, displayed in
my office at the Statehouse for one
year. Check out her piece and the
other winners
by visiting my Web site.
Thank you to the 103
artists who applied to the
Celebration of Hoosier Women Artists
competition. Like previous years it
was a difficult decision. We
received beautiful pieces of art
from women throughout the state.
Indiana is home to incredibly
talented women who are making a big
impact in their communities. Women
of many professions, including
artists, are economically
strengthening their communities. |

When
Governor Daniels and I moved into
the Statehouse in 2005, my office
was decorated with portraits of past
governors. As important as they are
to our history, I thought it would
be fitting to use that wall space to
honor living Hoosiers as well. As
part of Women's History Month, my
office began the process of creating
a competition that would showcase
women artists. |

|
We've enjoyed two
years of beautiful artwork now and
received countless compliments on
the diversity and creativity hanging
on the walls of my office. I'm
looking forward to the great things
we'll hear this year from Hoosiers
who stop by and admire what great
talent our women artists have. |

Sincerely,
