Ralph Fabri Medal, 74th Annual of Allied Artists of America
“The pine cone wreath greets visitors who come to the backdoor of the artist’s home. The circular shape is a universal symbol of friendship and reminded the artist of the rings boys would give to girls in high school as a token of friendship. Here the wreath serves as a warm greeting at the door and becomes a “Friendship Ring”.
