“It was my pleasure to select a group of sixty works to be exhibited in the first Michigan Scapes Exhibition from a total of 216 online submissions. I viewed all of the work numerous times, and it soon became evident that overall the quality of the submissions both in concept and execution is very high. This resulted in an engaging show that presents quite a range of takes on landscape as subject matter including wilderness, rural, urban, representational, interpretative, and imaginary subjects. From the very beginning some of the works were immediately outstanding and a few grew in my interest as I continued to look. The pieces that I chose for the awards held up after many viewings both online and then were selected in person before the exhibition opening. “ –Jim Nawara Best in Show Ann Marie Curley for Landscape: Zug Island 1st place: Heiner Hertling for Northville Fun 2nd place: B.
