What People Are Saying
“Our Curatorial Review Committee was most impressed by your superb Figurative paintings which are a triumph of personal expression as you encapsulate the human experience. Our noteworthy Curatorial Review Committee was most impressed by "BREATHING" which resonates with a profound visual narrative as you reveal an intense human empathy for life. The artistic journey that you portray in your stellar work "EMERGING" explores the complexities of strong shapes as it resonates with a dynamic silhouette. We were particularly engaged by the fluidity of movement in "PERSEVERING" with its symbolic message as well as the strength of your unique artistic vision of capturing the impalpable as you seize the essence of the emotional and physical experience. We salute you on the exciting interplay of color, movement and space in your "ROARING" and how you capture a special spirit of the complexity of life. Your Figurative Themed art viscerally challenges the viewer to a high level of emotional response and illustrates a vibrant visual intensity and the essence of the human experience. We are so pleased with your marvelous art and the positive energy of your stellar compositions.”

“The Best of Show was awarded to Karen Landrigan for her piece, Swimming. When I am jurying the show I don’t know anything about the artists, but once the show opens and awards have been decided I was moved to learn more about Karen. In her artist statement Karen reveals adversity, past and present. Writing about the subject of one of her paintings “[s]he could be flying; she could be dying. And this is what my art as well as my existence is all about—whether to fly or die.” She concludes, “I choose to fly.” The conceptual complexity and vulnerability was palpable in her work before I know of her story. Karen’s work is evocative, visually alluring, filled with movement and honestly steeped in the stuff of life hard, gorgeous, challenging, invigorating and unifying.”
