WINNERS
ANNOUNCED Winners
were honored at the Worthington Area Art League's Spring Show Artists'
Reception Sunday, April 18 at the Anthem Gallery. As
artists we look carefully, and form our vision through our unique lenses. We
wonder “what if” and we create work to interpret what we see and feel so
that viewers can “see what we mean.” From
the 88 entries in the Spring Anthem Show I have selected pieces that
resonate for me. I have chosen work that challenged the artist, used the
medium particularly well and resulted in personal expression. These
expressions varied widely. Some work, for example Pat Rhoad’s Ciao, was
just plain fun. Some was technically masterful. Peggi Batcheck’s
watercolors and Richard Clem’s “Placid Waters” come to mind. Other
work resulted from creative risk taking and imaginative wondering. Some work
was lovely visually, for example Paul Graham’s photo “Plant Study” and
Connie Layne’ watercolor “Spring Offering” and other work were more
conceptual. I applaud the inclusive spirit, the energy, and the diversity this work represents. I appreciate the courage required to expose one’s work for review and I realize from personal experience that this juror’s aesthetic is one among many. Said Juror, Gretchen Stevens Cochran
