The owners of the hockey team, the Tampa Bay Lightning, are wonderful supporters of art. The Vinik's host a local art competition called Celebration Of The Arts before the start of hockey season. I have become a finalist for the Third Annual event and two of my drawings were chosen, "For the Love of the Game- Phil Esposito & Dragon Boats Invade Tampa Bay." They will be exhibited in the IOA Suites 21 & 25, respectively, during the 2014-15 hockey season. I am honored that my artwork was judged and chosen by art professionals from the Tampa Museum of Art, Florida Museum of Photographic Arts, Ringing Museum, the Dali Museum and the Vinik's. I will share the walls of the Amalie Arena with other wonderful artists.

Thanks and Good Karma!!
