 1st Place Winner! Reservoir , 2022, Mixed Media (dried blood in thick medium, cracked matte plates), 48” x 36” First Place, Dry Spell: 8th Annual Plein Air Competition, Bountiful Davis Art Center Dried blood mixed into raised, flaking brown-red plates cracks and sheds on touch; the wound refuses closure through persistent mark-making. Practically raw and unyielding; metaphorically, healing preserves evidence—ugly, permanent, and owned. This award-winning piece turns refusal into reclamation, embodying resilience through visible scars. BDAC 8th Annual Plein Air Competition DRY SPELL: Climate & Drought in the American West On View: September 23 - October 29 Each year BDAC asks Utah artists to step outside and create artwork in the plein air tradition. This year's theme, Dry Spell, encouraged artists to examine the climate and drought that has plagued the American West. A heartfelt THANK YOU to guest juror Annie Farley for selecting my work to receive this award.     Comments are closed.
