There will be an award ceremony and open house on Saturday, Jan. 20, from noon to 5 at the Dana Gallery on North Higgins Avenue.

Between his work as a translator in many Latin American countries and working as a full time Spanish teacher at Big Sky High School, Wilson has painted many different subject matters and been a huge success in the art world.

"He is certainly one of the most compassionate, generous, kind and least self-serving persons in the art world and the world in general.”- Dudley Dana
