Portrait Society of America International Competition Finalist

I was selected as one of the 20 finalists for the Portrait Society of America International Portrait Competition 2023. They said they had received 3075 entries, so the chance of being a finalist was pretty slim like below 1/150. When I look at the names of the other finalists, it is a list of the nation's top portrait artists I have always admired and respected. I feel so honored and humbled. I will be going to Washington DC for the conference and attend the awards ceremony in May.
