"It is really a great show," said Speck in the release. "I am very honored to have won third prize out of the 55 amazing works that were chosen.
"Solitude" has also been featured in a number of magazines, including the third issue of the Summer 2022 Artsin Square Magazine, and will even be featured in the upcoming fourth issue of Women United Art Magazine and the seventh issue of New Visionary Magazine.
