		To have my mosaic 
		'Cheeseburger' accepted for this exhibition was most gratifying and I am 
		very excited about attending this event, my first SAMA conference to 
		date. 
	
		  
	
		The Society of 
		American Mosaic Artists (SAMA) 8th Annual International juried 
		exhibition takes place at the Museum of Man in San Diego, California 
		between February 28 and April 26.  The exhibition unites compelling 
		materials, innovative design, and masterful technique as explored by 
		international artists currently working in the medium.  Included are 
		seventy two exceptional mosaics selected from submissions by over 200 
		artists in seven countries chosen by esteemed panel of judges including 
		Helen Bodycomb, Director of Helen Bodycomb Mosaics in Australia, Malena 
		Perdomo, Artistic Director of the Perdomo Mosaic Studio in México; and 
		Irene de Watteville, tile artist and Board Member of the  Tile 
		Heritage Foundation.  
	
		  
	
		"This exhibition showcases 
		the incredible diversity of artists working in traditional and 
		contemporary materials," says Karen Ami, SAMA President.  "Our members 
		continue to push the envelope with texture, color, and form, conveying 
		the mastery present in our international community of mosaic artists.  
		This exhibition will inspire museum visitors as they discover the 
		tactile innovation of contemporary mosaic art,"  Ami adds.

Also the 
month of August brought another amazing surprise.  I had 2 of my fine art 
mosaics accepted by a juried show in Pam Goode’s Ciel Gallery in Charlotte, 
North Carolina.   
  
Pam wrote.  “I'm thrilled to 
report that our juror Giulio selected both Frogs and Steps to be 
exhibited at Ciel! Exhibiting these works will be an honor and a pleasure”.

Again, I wish to congratulate 
Pam Goode, Mosaic Artist/Owner on her grand opening at Ciel Gallery on Sept 5th 
till the 26th.  
Also congratulations to my fellow artists who 
are also featured in the gallery.
