Leslie Rankin, a local architectural glass artist, received a Congressional Certificate of Recognition from Rep. Shelley Berkley, D-Nev., for being named Best in Glass in the nationally broadcast ARTV Fine Art Awards.

Berkley presented the award to Rankin during an open house at Rankin's studio Glassic Art on Aug. 6.

Rankin's award-winning glass art piece was auctioned off to raise funds for the Shade Tree Shelter for women and children.
