Juror's Statement
I was greatly impressed by all the entries for the Mary s. Oakley and Lee Lindsay Artists Showcase Juried Exhibition. I was inspired by the creativity, skill, and diversity of the art and found it very difficult to select from the multitude of artworks submitted. The award winning entries are noteworthy for their craft, development, and originality.
