We’re thrilled to announce that Mandy Henson’s ceramic piece, Armour #1, has been recognized with an Award of Excellence at the Art League of Long Island’s juried “Figuratively Speaking” exhibition! This honor is a testament to Mandy’s dedication to exploring form and expression in ceramics. The juror, Professor Seung Lee, had the challenging task of selecting honorees from an outstanding selection of 60 works, and Mandy’s creation stood out among them.
