We are proud to announce that Angel Academy Alumnus Vicki Sullivan has swooped up a coveted Publication Award from the Art Renewal Centers 13th annual ARC salon for her drawing, "Laktisma".

The award was sponsored by The Collections magazine, who will shortly be writing an article about Sullivan in addition to featuring her work in an upcoming issue. Sullivan writes,

" As you can imagine I am now on cloud 15 which way surpasses cloud nine, I cannot really believe that I have won such an amazing competition, and I know that it would never have happened without what I learned at The Angel Academy.

So thank all of you teachers
