Awards & Recognition For Teresa LC Ahmad

I'm honored to have so many pieces juried into a show and winning specific awards as well. If you are not familiar with art show juries, it's a process of selecting the best of the best to be part of an exhibit or compete in a show. To be 'juried in' is an award in itself.

If you'd like to know if any of the pieces mentioned on this page are still available, either the original or print, simply enter the title of the piece in the site search box in the header of this or any page. If it's on the site, it will show up!
    

Since 2015 to present day, I have been given many opportunities to expand my art interests.  Although I haven't spent much time doing "my own"  I have done some fantastically fun pieces for others.  You can check out what I am up to on my
