Paul Jackson - Comments on Spring Show

 by Blog Administrator on 05/26/12

Paul Jackson's statement regarding the 2012 Member's Spring Exhibition, was read at the reception.
" The level of creativity is above average. I look for transparency, subtlety and luminosity above and beyond technical skills that makes my eye want to stay in the painting and travel through it. It was especially tough choice between the top 2 awards I have chosen. Everyone in the exhibition creativity that captured the quality and effectiveness of the light effects I was looking for.
You are all to be congratulated."

Taylor Hellmann doing an outstanding job of hanging the show and with Wayne St. John adjusting the lighting on the artwork. Jane Kempe for typing the 50 ID labels for the paintings. Susan Ludvigson getting the calendar filled with the artists sitting the gallery, and always there with a helping hand wherever needed. Thank you so much.
