Emily T Andress, SpringFest Judge, provided this overall show commentary:
“I had a difficult time narrowing down to eight winners. I find myself being drawn into pieces that tell a story with brushstrokes, expression, line work etc. This is a show everyone should be proud of!”
Thank you to this year’s show sponsors: Four Corners Framing & Gallery, and Lake Norman Realty, Inc.
