Among her many accomplishments, Ms Kepp’s Cannon and Flag painting was

selected from all Florida applicants to represent Florida in the U.S. Capitol
Building during the 1976 Bicentennial Celebration of our nation’s

independence. We will have the honor of displaying that patriotic painting
also at our celebration.
