“Upon receiving her entries it was immediately apparent she has superior artistic talent in realistic portraiture in addition to her masterful landscapes and still life. Her extraordinary attention to capturing the essence of her subjects with technical prowess claimed this top award. I was also impressed when I learned about Nanette’s many professional achievements.

“Furthermore, Nanette uses her talent to contribute to bringing positive change to the world. She donates a portion of her fees from her portrait commissions to Smile Train, the largest worldwide organization committed to repairing cleft palates,” said Phillips, who is the founder, director, editor of Manhattan Arts International.

With more than two decades of professional experience, Fluhr has created portraits that hang in public and private collections worldwide, according to the press release.
