Jurors' Comments:
Jennifer: I was impressed by the artistry, the treatment of the surface, the overall effectiveness of color choices, and the unique way the artist balanced the composition.
Shonto: Anytime you put the words warrior and mother together its gotta be a winner! Nothing in this piece clashes; it is powerful to the spirit, quiet to the eye, and I recognize the stage of the artist's development. This artist has a bright future!
Ramson: (of the Runner Up, Mama Quail and Her Babies) I liked it because of the composition and presentation and the fact that it's done on handmade paper.
