I like to take part in juried shows because, when a professional juror sees the art piece, he/she sees it with different ‘eyes’ than the usual viewer. Usually there are three independent jurors, who take into consideration various elements in the art piece. These elements have to complement each other to make the piece unique and appealing to the eye. Some of these elements are: subject, composition, colour, contrast, depth, execution of the medium, etc.
"Yearning II" - 'Juror's Award of Excellence' - 2006
KANATA ART CLUB
Juried Exhibition & Sale
This is a yearly-juried show in which I have taken part since 2006 and my work has always been accepted to be part of the show. In two occasions the jurors have recognized my work. The first time was in 2006 when “Yearning II” won the ‘Juror’s Award of Excellence’ at the Kanata Civic Art Gallery. The second time was this year at the Britannia Gallery with “Magnificent” winning the ‘Best in Show’ award competing with more then 60 paintings!

Juried Member’s Exhibition
This yearly-juried show exhibits at the Atrium and Centrepointe Theatre Gallery. I entered this year with a triptych watercolour with orchids called “Triple Splendour” receiving the ‘First Award of Excellence in Watercolour’.
It is satisfying and inspirational to receive these recognitions; they encourage me to continue discovering the fabulous world of art!
