Meet the Judges!
Our judges for this year's Fine Art Show are Carolyn MacPherson and Andrea Morris.
Irises, watercolor, by Carolyn MacPherson
Carolyn MacPherson is a widely exhibited and recognized artist who has lived and worked in the Pacific Northwest and in California. She loves color and design and obtained an art teaching credential in order to share her interest with students. Ms. MacPherson has a long history of involvement with arts organizations. In Washington State she served on the State Arts Advocacy Commission and directed the Southwest Washington Arts Festival. In California she was involved with the Arts Councils in San Mateo and later in the Mother Lode. Ms. MacPherson continues to teach. Her medium of choice is watercolor.
Zebras, oil, by Andrea Morris
In her decades-spanning practice, Andrea Morris has explored wildlife and the human form through different materials and mediums. Self-taught, Andrea began painting as a means of dealing with the complexities of life in an ever changing social atmosphere.
In her early work she created drawings of horses and familiar animals and later studied portrait works. Andrea later experimented with abstraction and assemblage in an attempt to free herself from the traditional genre. She returned to making paintings and watercolors in 2000. Andrea has developed the use of strong patterns and colors to represent the subjects in her compositions and uses the diverse objects to represent thoughts and emotions to tell the story behind the painting.
