A winner.

Johanna's painting "Group Hug" was awarded "Artwork Best Representing Theme" in the Historic Beverly art exhibit "Strength, Perseverance and Hope" which emphasized our pandemic experience.

The art was judged by art specialists, but also by some people from the local community– which made it even more special to me.

Her other painting "Last Hug," also in the exhibit, depicted the show's theme as well– almost more so, as it features a good friend who truly experienced strength, perseverance and hope.

 Pastels.
