Description: Kiva on a black Navy ship. Mixed media. About this Award: Awarded for high quality in craftsmanship in painting or drawing.
Jurors' Comments:
Traci: This was my first choice. I really pushed for it. The piece gave me chills. I like the title and it worked on two levels; not just the bow of the submarine, but its also a Kiva, and the translucent quality was exceptional.
Elmer: I like the overall effect-the translucence.
Stuart: This was my second choice. I thought it was a nice blending of traditional ideas with the contemporary element of submarine (i.e., fears and dreams). << Previous Award
