We were saddened to have to announce the passing of our long time trustee and moderator of the Wednesday evening life drawing group, Ron Fisher. The Best of Show award at the March judged exhibit will be presented in his memory.
ANNUAL MEMBERS’ EXHBITION - JANUARY 2012 - AWARDS
BEST OF SHOW - #65 - Patricia Zalisko - “New River”
Presented in memory of Diana Barringer
“The artist has made effective use of a subtle color palette, then energized the surface with calligraphy and scribbling to create a strong abstract work.”
FIRST PLACE - #167 - Andrew Gamache - “Owl”
“The artist demonstrates the creativity needed to take disparate, even broken, parts, envision them as something else, and fashion them into something new.”
SECOND PLACE - #66 - Carson Kapp - “Thinking About You”
“The artist applies her media with a happy/slapdash approach, then employs a heavy black line to emphasize her energetic style.”
THIRD PLACE - #101 - Lee Nesler - “Sandhill Cranes”
“The artist has combined subtle colors, sensitive lines, and appealing subject matter in this interpretation of a Florida wildlife scene.”

“The artist uses a double image and emphasizes the metallic copper color, demonstrating a masterful touch with photography.”
DISTINCTION - #37 - Katherine Parfet - “Beach Life”
“Nothing subtle about this work; the artist uses bold colors in an abstract interpretation, and then grounds them, creating almost a leaded glass look, with black.”
