for “Wildly Diverse”
Below are the judge’s comments

Excerpts from the Juror’s Statement

John Dyess – Judge

The subject matter of the animal kingdom is very broad indeed and so were the entries. While I was aware that it was an all media show, I was impressed to see such a variety of media represented by the entries. There was scratchboard, fiber, drawing, painting, photography, sculpture and even pyrography. This makes a comprehensive and interesting show for the viewing public when seen as one body of work in the gallery.

I narrowed my selections down to my top 7 and then reviewed them further for placement as first, second, third and honorable mention. I always have a hard time “rejecting” art because I know each and every piece represents an individual’s energy, commitment, expression and a little of their soul.

Seeing the varied creative art endeavors represented here gives one encouragement that the interest, exploration, self education, conviction and tenacity needed to pursue art are alive and well.

Internal Exploration

Exploration has been a core theme in my art, especially when it comes to exploring the outside world and all it has to offer in inspiring my next creation.  Since I have been in school, exploration is taking me to look on creating art through the lens of technique,...

Wind of Change

It is that time of year when change is evident as a new season arrives.  Where I live it is fall, and looking out the window, I see trees transforming from green to vibrant yellow, oranges and reds, and it is beautiful, but at the same time it reminds me that life is...

The Act of Creating

"Awakening into Beauty" Chaos is a good way to describe the first two months of this year, so many things are happening which are so confusing that it is easy to do nothing but be paralyzed by the uncertainty of what may happen next.  Instead of being powerless, I...

Dance with the Imagination!

Thinking Outside the Box

I am finding out that approaching what I do with a different twist allows me to see the beauty around me and what I create in a beautiful new light.  This does not mean totally changing what I do, it just means bringing different elements into the picture, for example...

A Whole New Light

It is always a bit frightening to share a part of who you are as an artist especially when you feel like you are not being the best creative version of yourself self that you can be. I was feeling stuck in a creative slump when I wrote the last newsletter.  As most of...
