Best in Show
Messager by Michelle Robison
This extraordinary, dramatic paper sculpture flies toward us out of the mind of an artist. Superb technique along with the tarnished copper color, show great originality and hard work. The color gives the piece an air of antiquity, which is enhanced by the gold and sienna frame.Best in Show -

Full Moon over Traverse Bay
by Sharron Cygnor
The high horizon, the moving wave pattern coming toward us and the scale of distant trees create a spacious atmosphere. The bright moonlight reflected on the water adds to the feeling of depth.
