AWARD, 73rd Annual Connecticut Artists Exhibition, Slater Memorial Museum, Norwich CT.
“In selecting the award winners, I chose artists working in different mediums. I placed the greatest emphasis on the conceptual strength and distinct style of the individual artist. I find this particular combination the greatest challenge for artists working today. There are many artists who are excellent technicians. However, the rarer artists mine new territories, present a singular vision, and deliver a surprising experience that capture attention and interest. I had many captivating moments in reviewing the Slater Museum’s 2017 Connecticut Artists Exhibition. Art makes you look. Great art makes you look again.”
