Awarded 2nd Place in the WVAG Colorama show

As a member of the Wisconsin Visual Artist's Guild (WVAG), we have an annual fall exhibit titled, "Colorama." Our current show is up until next Tuesday, December 3rd, at the Reaching New Heights gallery inside Marshfield Clinic-Weston. It is always a bright, colorful, and inspiring show. The WVAG is a talented group! 

I'm excited to say that two of my pieces received awards in the show. If you are in the Wausau/Weston area, stop in and take a look. The show is on the first and second floors, and is open from 8 am - 5 pm. Artwork is for sale so if you are need of some beautiful, original Christmas gifts, this is a great place to shop. And it sure beats buying that big screen TV that will be outdated in a couple of years.

In my previous post I talked about being open to new opportunities. Recently I was asked to judge the 2011 Colorama art show for the Wisconsin Visual Artist's Guild. They are a very talented group of artists who show their work at the Reaching New Heights gallery inside Marshfield Clinic in Weston, WI, among other venues. Last Friday evening they had the awards ceremony, and a fundraiser for Marshfield Clinic's cancer research foundation. 


Every time I judge a show, I come away with an even deeper appreciation of what it takes to create, not only quality  and meaningful art, but art in general. Every piece is a part of you. And that is pretty amazing. 

Pictured here is Sharon Dowis receiving the Best of Show award for her piece, "My Kids." Sharon also won an Honorable Mention award for her photography. 

Here, Cindy Markowski receives a second place award for her painting, "Coloration: Nuthatches." Cindy has also had her work in the Woodson Art Museum's international Birds in Art show.


Thank you to the Wisconsin Visual Artist's Guild for the opportunity to be a part of your event! And a big THANK YOU to artist Sharon Feathers who provided these photos of the evening, and also received First Place for her piece, "Lost Hopes and Dreams."
