Both Elizabeth and Margaret are Fusion Art's Featured Artists for the month of May 2016 and, as the Best in Show winners, both artists are also invited to participate in Fusion Art's Annual Group Show in Palm Springs, CA, in November 2016.

Other “Leaves & Petals” award winners include Second Place winners, Sara Bardin for her acrylic on canvas, "Red Velvet” and Jean Burnett for her digital art from photography on canvas, “Sleeping Beauty.” Third Place awards were given to Aisha Ismail for her watercolor, “The Forest Bed” and Youri Chasov for his digital painting on paper, “Mount5.”

The international juried competition was held from March 6th through April 24th and received entries from artists in over a dozen countries including the US, Canada, England, India, Australia, Pakistan, France, Russia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates.  The exhibition will be featured on the Fusion Art website until May 31, 2016.

Each month Fusion Art hosts uniquely themed art competitions and exhibitions. Both winners and finalists are provided with worldwide exposure, by having their work promoted through Fusion Art’s website, in 70+ press release announcements, email marketing and through the gallery’s social media outlets. An additional unique opportunity Fusion Art provides to the monthly Best in Show winners is an invitation to participate in Fusion Art’s group exhibition in Palm Springs, CA in November 2016.
