Express Yourself: Finding Beauty Through Expression

The AIA Dallas WiA hosted the third annual Express Yourself competition in the Fall of 2013 as an opportunity for women architects and designers in Texas to showcase their art and design work. Entrants from all over the state submitted their creative works. Winners were announced at the 2013 TxA Convention in Fort Worth.

The winner in the Design category is the Down & Up House from Karen Lantz, AIA. We had a tie in the art category -- Systematic Narcissism from Wendy W Fok, Assoc. AIA; and Invisible City from Tiana Wages, an architecture student at the University of Texas at Arlington. Our jurors were Susan Appleton, AIA; Kirk Teske, AIA, LEED AP BD+C; and Michael L. Teleha. Special thanks to Hilda Rodriguez, Emily Harrold and Elke Giba for leading last year's competition.

As one of WiA's most popular activities, we look forward to launching the fourth annual Express Yourself competition in August. Stay tuned for more details.
