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
Face Book page Teresa L. C. Ahmad or on Instagram @tlcartist

2013

I submitted to a small number of competitions this year and exhibited in private shows and fairs.  2013 was a year to focus on strengthening my portfolio.  With over 15 new pieces for my "Marine Life" theme, the addition of the "Song Series," many commissions for pet and architectural portraits, more pieces inspired by trips to the Zoo, and experimenting with mediums, I am ready to pursue more competitions in 2014.

Happy Serial Art Owners

"While I've never been good with words, I wanted to say how much I've enjoyed Teresa Ahmad's artwork. I have several pieces in my possession for both my business and personal life. Before purchasing these pieces I knew nothing about art, nor did I appreciate art. Her work has educated and inspired me. I love all my pieces! Thank you Teresa for sharing your love of and skill with art with me!"
Cheri in Fredericksburg VA
"Teresa is an artist in the purest sense of the word. She tends to climb inside the head and heart of those she is creating for. As a result, she produces the most amazing works which represent one's feelings, thoughts, and sentiments. I have her art for both my business and my home."
Peggy in Vienna VA
