I'm so ashamed of myself. I was so busy last night watching the "Dexter" finale (before it got spoiled for me) and the "American Horror Story" finale (just to ensure I would have nightmares), that I didn't watch the season finale of Bravo's "Work of Art" reality competition show when it aired live at 9 p.m.

The shame is because Durham artist Kymia Nawabi was a finalist -- and she won!

The East Carolina grad did some great work this season and also showed herself to be a really nice person working alongside a group of bratty, immature mean girls. We're proud of Kymia for winning and for not being a witch to her fellow contestants. Like some people we could name.

Here's more about last night's episode and an interview Adrienne did with Kymia right as the season was starting. We hope to catch up with Kymia again soon!

American Horror Story (10pm, FX) - In tonight's season finale, Constance, one of the few actual living humans left in this series, schemes to raise Tate's demon baby as her own. Jessica Lange (right) was nominated last week for both SAG and Golden Globe awards for her portrayal of Constance. Excited to see how long it takes dense Ben (Dylan McDermott) to figure out what kind of hell he's dealing with -- and if North Carolina's Lost Colony and the Croatoan mystery get another shout-out this week.

Walters picked Steve Jobs as the most fascinating man of the year.)

We finally caught up with Durham's own Kymia Nawabi, an artist who is competing on Bravo's "Work Of Art," beginning tonight.  Nawabi grew up in the Woodcroft area of the Bull City and attended Jordan High. She's also a graduate of East Carolina University.

Via email, she answered some questions about her work (she's exhibited at artspace), her experience on the show, and growing up Iranian-American in the South:

Happiness: What made you want to be on the show?
Kymia: I really cannot think of any other facility that provides such a great amount of exposure for a young and emerging artist. "Work of Art" was the best way for me to really promote, challenge and elevate my work and myself.  Also, I love that it is also this strange sociological experiment; putting 14 strangers together and seeing what happens with all that energy.
