This page lists awards PAT KRUEGER has received,
 most recent, back to the first received for her artwork in the Fall of 2001.

Competitions are fun and exciting for Artists to enter.  Pat feels strongly about keeping the entering of them fun.  The challenges that she sets for herself are the challenges of accomplishment.  Art is to be enjoyed by those who see it.  It should also be enjoyed by those artists who create it.
