Juror's Statement on the Exhibit

Every work in this exhibit demanded and got my full attention, a unique experience for a juror of more than 100 shows, both local, national and international.  The variety of mediums, styles and techniques make for a exciting experience, however, the defining character of the entire body of works, is the depth of feelings and purpose I discovered.  Without conscious thought creative people are affected by these dark times.  Art can be a positive source for healing.  Artists are, after all, an extension of God's creativity in the world.  This is a serious and joyful responsibility, especially now.

Thank you for the uplifting experience of judging this memorable exhibit
Edee Joppich, I.S.E.A, M.F.

First Place 

Zach's Chair - Kelly Ingleright-Telgenhoff
Oil on Canvas, 38"x50"

Juror's Comments:
The drawing and painting skills are excellent.  The artist has created an original idea for a portrait using objects to describe attributes of the subject.  The subtle imbalance of these objects implies and creates tension.  Very original and dynamic.  (Notice the splash of red in the lower right corner...mysterious!)

Picture
Second Place

Forest Thru the Trees - Tamara Nottingham
Oil on Board, 36"x48"

Juror's Comments:
A totally different way of seeing a typical forest scene.  It is dramatic in the extreme - with somber dark lighting, and splashes of red in the lower right area.  The strong fall tree diagonal creates tension, splitting the painting, but is saved compositionally by the dark rhythmic vertical trees behind it. 
​

Third Place

A2D #7 - Rocco Pisto
​Watercolor, 26"x55.5"

Juror's Comments:
An extraordinary celebration of "being alive".  The explosive energy and chaos is controlled by the horizontal bands across the lower area, and splashes of the dark blots across the center.  Jackson Pollack and moreso!

Jurors Choice

Homage to Magritte - Denise Rohde
Photography, 18"x24"

Juror's Comments:
Magritte and his surrealist friends would be thrilled to see how modern technology can expand and enhance their amazing ways of seeing reality, the world, and beyond
Honorable Mention
Picture
1-800 SPL CAST - Dean Rogers
Colored Pencil, 26"x33"
A tour de force for a challenging medium by an accomplished artist.  The artist's story is up to the viewer to figure out or he or she can create their own.  The composition is complicated but it works.  Bravo!
Picture

​Finding Self Deep Within - Laura Cleo Sedoryk
Hand Cut Glass Mosaic, 35.5"x 23.5"
This is a splendid mosaic glass work of fine art that implies much more than just superficial surface beauty.

Picture

​Eye of the Storm - Winifred Chrzanowski
Manipulated Digital Photography, 12"x12"
Going beyond traditional photographic techniques, this artist has conjured up a haunting other reality.
Picture

​Disenchanted - Catherine Hetherington
Alla Prima oil, 14"x14"
A superb painter has made visual a human emotion we have all experienced in our lifetime.
Picture

​Peony Bubble - Louis Boyang
Watercolor, Graphite, 16"x12"
Not just another beautifully painted arrangement of peonies, the artist has added bubbles containing monochromatic flowers.  An original and risky idea - and it worked.
Picture
​Civil Discourse - Lora Garcelon
Watercolor and acrylic marbling, 18"x24"
The grid composition is simple and strong with a subtle background pattern.  The dark value of the mans jacket creates a diagonal, implying dominance while the foreground figure suggests insecurity, with the counter diagonal of his shoulders!  High drama.
Picture

​Stony Pond - Karen Monroe
Oil, 42"x52"
The illusion of depth in the deep dark blue is achieved by the contrast of the brightly lit lower left triangle.  The artist has achieved a "sense of place" that landscape painters strive for.  Bravo!
