Your work is wonderful, as I'm sure you heard many times this past weekend, and this honor is well deserved. I enjoyed getting to know you at the conference.

It's amazing that you've come so far so fast!

Michele, Bonfim, Mischa, Karine, Grethe : Thanks for the congratulations !
Michele, I enjoyed speaking with you, it was very instructive...
Mischa : I'm planning a trip to France in August to see the family, but I'm not sure to be able to travel in all Europ because I will be with my 2 young children... Anyway, it would be a pleasure to meet you and Allan.
Karine : Destiny... Great subject!
I believe there is 2 sorts of destiny : the passive persons who watch their life as spectators, and the active persons who act to decide their life.
I'm trying to be the second one, although it's sometimes easier when you are a little sleepy or lazy, and to become only spectator of your life.

Marina this is wonderful news and well deserved! I wish I could have been at the conference and not only met you in person, but seen these beautiful paintings. Your paintings of young children has a very special quality to them and it comes as no surprise that it is being recognized. Good for you! 
I am absolutely in love with the painting of the child holding the branch!
