Aiken Center for the Arts named Angel by South Carolina Secretary of State
On November 15, 2023, South Carolina Secretary of State Mark Hammond announced the Angels of 2023. Twelve Angel charities were recognized, the Aiken Center for the Arts being one of them. The Angels honored are organizations that have positively impacted the well-being of South Carolinians and that have demonstrated good stewardship of charitable resources. To be selected as an Angel, the charity must have devoted 80% or more of its total expenditures to charitable programs. It is an honor for Aiken Center for the Arts to be included on the list of Angel organizations in SC.

Michelle said, "This particular horse is one of the Calgary Stampede’s bucking string. It had just finished its eight second round, and the pick up rider was trying to convince it to follow him. The horse had a very different idea.
I wanted to capture that unmistakable moment the horse decided to power into the opposite direction. With the use of loose rough drawing lines to frame out the gesture of the horse, I juxtaposed solid detail in the face focusing on the horse’s expression and intent. Using oil paint instead of a dry medium, to unify the end result was a challenge." ✨
