“How extraordinary (and necessary) it is to celebrate mature women who have dedicated their lives to making the world a better place through art. I am elated to receive this award! What an honor it is to be counted among this exceptional group of women. I feel acknowledged, supported, and buoyed to engage in my work with renewed vigor and anticipation.The process of applying for the TH/SOLA helped me to gain a broader perspective of the evolution of my artistic expression, and to further clarify what drives me to make art in the first place. There are few things more rewarding than to know that what has moved me in the making, moves others when they see it. Thank you so much for this award, your belief in my work, and for encouraging me to continue seeking the new and unexpected.”

~ Caryn Friedlander, 2025 SOLA Awardee
