“I am so thankful for the opportunity of having my art shown in the Mabee-Gerrer Museum, just having my pieces being shown was cool enough,” Howell said. “When I got the news that I got best of show I almost didn't believe it and once it hit me I started jumping up and down! Being recognized for your art and all the time, hours, and days you put into my art feels so good. It's a feeling that I will never forget!”
