2017 Art Tour International Magazine Awards Ceremony - Florence, Italy

For the third consecutive year I was included in the list of Top 60 international contemporary artists.  On May 24, 2017 I received an email from Viviana Puello,  Editor-in-Chief of the magazine.  She stated, "...this year we had our judges pick artists independently.  One of our jury, Mr. Paolo del Bianco, President of the Fondazione del Biance has chosen you for an award......  I will receive it in your name."    The list of ATIM Master Award winners was listed on their website as follows:

2017 Awards Ceremony held in Florence, Italy.
This is Lara standing with my painting.   It is good to have friends.
