Best of Show awarded to LCAD graduate student Carolyn Robles

Carolyn Robles, MFA student at LCAD, has been awarded Best of Show in the Jack Richeson/Unison Pastels competition of the magazine "Pastel Journal". Carolyn's winning portrait is entitled " Fallera in Turquoise " (shown here) and was inspired while she was attending a festival in Valencia, Spain.

The April 2009 issue of Pastel Journal features more of her work and a wonderful write-up on Carolyn's inspirations and thoughts. Several of her portraits can also be seen on her own website www.carolynrobles.com.

Congratulations from all of us at LCAD on this great achievement, Carolyn!
