== Regarding your note == 

 Hi. I'm sorry that you're frustrated, but I'm not sure that I'm the person who can best help you at this point. I've put considerable time into looking at your sources & searching for verifiability. As I noted, I'm not familiar enough with the art world to know what qualifies as major or where to find independent verification of that. Again, you might find Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Visual arts helpful. You seem to feel that the George Sugarman Foundation Grant is notable, and perhaps it is. I see there is verification that you received it at the website. Those active in building articles on visual artists are far more likely to have a grasp of the finer points of the notability requirements than I am. But please do not continue pasting material from other websites into talk pages or articles. Wikipedia policy very explicitly requires that editors "[n]ever use materials that infringe the copyrights of others." As the policy explains, "This could create legal liabilities and seriously hurt the project." Although treated legally as a server, Wikipedia conforms to the same standards in this as print encyclopedias and is subject to the laws of the US regarding copyright. Copyrighted material must not be pasted into articles or talk spaces. Good luck, and I hope that the editors at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Visual arts can satisfy you in this regard. )
