Special Recognition Artists:

DAVID BLOW of Hickory Creek, Texas has mastered the digital world wherein he creates works that combine various techniques.

JOSE CALDERIN of Miami, Florida has a strong work in "Animal Series - Owl" wherein he creatively uses electrical staples on plywood in a mosaic fashion.

CHERYL DAWDY of Ann Arbor, Michigan has a delicate and expressive approach to mixed media.

ANGELA DUCLOS of Calgary, Alberta, Canada, in her collage-based inkjet print curiously entitled "House & Home" brings about a wonderful array of textural emphasis in a rather achromatic schema.

FRANCES ELSON of Somis, California has taken her glass media to greater heights especially seen in her work "Blue Crystal" wherein she forms a rather large geometric shaped sculpture composed of the many pieces of fused glass.

ROGER ERIKSEN of Monte Vista, Colorado takes on a contemporary color aspect of Red, Green and Blue Color Codes, an additive color model in which red, green and blue light are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad array of colors.

JOAN HALL of New York, New York has a special signature style with a wonderful sense of style.

NANCY HART of Odessa, Texas is known for her special combination of parts as seen in her "Anatomy and Abstraction" using wood and paper.

JASMINE KUKIC of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada has mastered collage incorporating a kind of mysterious narrative.

CANDACE LAW of Berkley, Michigan adds a lot of quality to her works in the use of encaustic. One of the special pieces is "What Lies Below" with the added mystery in the abstraction.

SODAM LEE of Ames, Iowa uses digital photography to produce some intriguing works. "Heavy Shoulder" is interesting in terms of the carrying of the pales but in the context of the stacking figures there is an added weight felt.

DAVE MANRIQUEZ of Omaha, Nebraska tackles a dramatic situation in his depiction of a mental condition. .

RYOTA MATSUMOTO of Mitaka-shi, Tokyo, Japan uses mixed media to create works that are absolutely fantastic and quite amazing indeed.

CAROL STAUB of Port Saint Lucie, Florida has a fine understanding of collage and in her dynamic piece "Ecovillage" she develops fine areas of shapes and textures with a workable palette showing the sense of windows and a rooftop in a rather large four foot wide collage.
