              RECOGNITION OF ACHIEVEMENTS OF IDAHO ARTISTS

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. C. L. ``BUTCH'' OTTER

                                of idaho

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, March 10, 2003

  Mr. OTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the achievements of 
five Idaho artists who were selected to exhibit this week in Boise at 
the ``Women's History Month Juried Art Exhibition''. Katie Rosenberg, 
Diane Ronayne, Tobiann Grindstaff, and Katie Cepek, all of Boise; and 
Sheila Martz, of Payette, are showing their works as part of an event 
to showcase and promote female artists.
  The exhibition features 33 diverse pieces produced by nineteen women 
throughout nine states. Having five Idaho artists selected for the 
exhibit reflects exceptionally well on our state. It is especially 
important to showcase women artists in order to fully reflect the times 
we're living in. Whether or not the art deals with women's issues 
specifically, each of these women has a purpose and an individual 
interpretation of the world she's living in. They are history-makers.
  The ``Women's History Month Juried Exhibition'' opened Friday, March 
7, 2003 at the Boise State University Hemingway Center Gallery. I 
encourage my constituents to avail themselves of this opportunity and I 
congratulate Katie, Diane, Tobiann, Katie, and Sheila on their 
successes.
