RVC Artist Receives Nod from Art League of LI

William Mensching's “Wave” painting was honored with an Award of Excellence from The Art League of Long Island. 

The painting, an oil on canvas from 2012, was one of three awards given.

The Art League of Long Island showcases the remarkable talent of the region’s visual artists in its popular competition on view at the League’s Jeanie Tengelsen Gallery March 10 through April 14. 

Exhibition juror and noted landscape painter April Gornick singled out seven works of art for special recognition among the 65 artists she selected to participate in the exhibit.  

Gornick, whose works can be found in major art institutions and museums throughout the country, originally screened 500 entries to make her final selections.
