Judge Cheryl Fausel Remarks: "It was an honor to be asked to judge this exhibition. The level of work submitted was extremely high with a large number of paintings that were prize worthy, the most difficult part of this job was awarding prizes, as there were many more, that were also deserving of awards. If your work didn’t win a prize, please do not take it as a rejection, but understand there were not enough prizes to award all the deserving pieces. I found myself going back and forth on several pieces of work. Your organization can be proud of the high caliber of work in this exhibition. In the end the judging of any exhibition is subjective, and a result of the life time work and experience, the judge brings to this task"
