Congratulations Jan. What a great thing, not only for you, but for the field of basketry to have your work in such an important collection.
Thanks so much Susi! I was so honored to be in Karen Johnson Boyd's private collection, but to have her gift them so others can enjoy them has overwhelmed me. And I am so glad the pieces were gifted to RAM, who has many gifted basket artists in their permanent collection.
Wow, I am speechless ...
This is wonderful and you deserve this, you are such a dedicated artist.
