This is the yearly anthology for JordanCon only this year they have included illustrations by many SF illustrators. "Dark Streets" by Debbie Hughes was included in this edition. © 2022
April 23rd -24th 2022
Debbie was proud to be a part of JordanCon this year and showed over 14 paintings and 41 prints as part of their group annual show. She had to wait 2 years though due to Covid. This year the annual JordanCon show was double in size after a minimal crowd size in 2021. In addition, the Wheel of Time series became a hit TV series. It was nice to be a part of a wonderful Group of people once again.

Discon III Interview on YouTube
Debbie was interviewed by Discon III who will be holding the 2021 World Con 2021. In this interview Debbie talks about her background, her influences, her struggles as a woman illustrator in the SF Field and her upcoming projects. Please check it out on Youtube.
This exhibit was held from March 1st to the end of September 2020. It was originally going to end in May, but due to Covid all public buildings were closed indefinitely. I was actually worried I would perhaps not see my painting again. After the pandemic subsided in NYC, my painting was returned.
You can still check out all works on line at the NAWA website.
"Seasons of Wither" won an honorable Mention at this show. There were a total of 4 awards.
