Works in Arizona Museums Permanent collections
I
received the great news in 2011 that The Heard Museum and The Tucson
Museum of Art will be having a piece in their permanent collections. In
2009, The Phoenix Art Museum received one of my paintings as a gift from
a private collection. I want to share the news with those that have
been following my work, collecting my work and supporting in my career. I
truly appreciate the support I’ve been given here in Arizona as an
artist. Thank you!

Erni Cabat Award for most beautiful painting at the Arizona Biennial 2011 at the Tucson Museum of Art
Arizona
Biennial 2011. My painting "it's what you do with time that heals"
received the Erni Cabat Award for most beautiful painting at the Arizona
Biennial 2011 at the Tucson Museum of Art on June 24. The Collections
Committee acce"pted my painting to the museum permanent collection.
Selected by guest juror Anne Ellegood for the Arizona Biennial ’11 at the Tucson Museum of Art. Of
the 476 Arizona artists who entered with 1,318 objects of art, 45
artists were selected to show a total of 75 works including 2 videos.
A few of you asked me about the meaning of the award , here is a quote from Julie Sasse, Curator at The Tucson Museum of Art.
"I can tell you that the Erni Cabat award was started many years ago, but I can’t say exactly when (1970s?). It was originally created by Rose Cabat, a noted Tucson ceramic artist in her own right. She created the award to honor her husband, Erni Cabat, who was also an artist. The truth is that he loved nudes, so the original text that went with the award was the “most lovely nude,” but over the years, “lovely” and “nude” made selecting for this award problematic. A couple of years ago I contacted the daughter (or granddaughter?) of Rose Cabat and asked if we could change it to “most lovely painting” and I’m sure I could switch media to “most lovely” of anything. I found that your piece not only had a beautiful composition and premise behind it, but the overlay of flowers, clocks, and patterns, and the metaphoric associations were well-suited to the optimism and aesthetic approach that Rose would want us to associate with this award." Julie Sasse is curator of modern and contemporary art at the Tucson Museum of Art, Arizona.
