AWARDS

In 2010, Jill won the 1st Prize for Evening Wear awarded by the St Vincent De  Paul's Discarded to Devine, and 1st Prize for Best Art-Inspired Awarded by the  De Young Museum, at the De Young Museum .  Pieces were auctioned off at the St  Mary's Cathedral  benefiting the StVincent de Paul Society's services to people  battling poverty, homelessness and domestic violence.

Anti-Mass by British artist and  sculptor  Cornelia Parker, charcoal and  wire, at the  De Young Museum, San Francisco inspired Jill for  the special creation Jolly.

"When Discarded to Divine then contacted FAMSF director of public programs Renee  Baldocchi, the two organizations collaborated to create the annual preview  event, encouraging participants to draw inspiration from the Museums'  collections and special exhibitions"
