1st Place

Dimensions: 20 x 16 x 0.5
Artist's Statement about this work: Alchemists. Were they scientists, wizards or charlatans? I tend to think they are scientists who searched for hidden truths. Would they be considered scientists in our world?

First Merchant Award

Juror Award

Dimensions: 10 x 13
Artist's Statement about this work: When I painted this picture I wanted to capture the look in his eyes and the expression on his face. I imagine that I can understand how he is feeling. Emotion is one thing that unites us all, it is something we all experience. When you see the look on his face can you emphasize with him? Can you see his humanity even though you don't know him? This is what we need more of in this world, the ability to see each other as fellow humans with experiences and opinions that we may not understand but, with souls and emotions that we do.

Honorable Mention 2

Dimensions: 15 x 14
Artist's Statement about this work: My friend Daphne is a librarian, and I was taken with this scene. I liked the way converging perspective lies all flowing to her face. And tried to put into this scene the comfortable feel of books and old paper, the smell of dust and leather, and the dry sound of fingertips paging through the volumes.
Sale Price: $425.00

Honorable Mention 3

Dimensions: 29 x 21
Artist's Statement about this work: This is a "memory scape." I grew up in the East where it's very green, yet, I seem to have an affinity for red and for the lines, crevices, texture, gullies, and chasms that I love about southern Utah.
