1st, 2nd and 3rd Place Artworks
Kathy Ford
1st Place. “Graffiti, Grit, and Glamour”
“Graffiti, Grit, and Glamour” stands
out with vivid colors and realistic detail. The artist captures the irony of garbage in front
of the graffiti wall, highlighting the stark contrast between two very different realities.
This powerful juxtaposition is thought-provoking.
Evgeniya Goldobina
2nd Place, “Poe Mountain Valley”
The soft palette, expressive
brushstrokes, and composition guide the viewer from the foreground through the
mountains and back, creating depth and movement.
Rebecca Keller
3rd Place, “Road Trip“
The palette and simplified forms evoke a quiet emotion, creating a subtle yet impactful composition that sparks curiosity and invites reflection.
