By: Governor's Art Show "The judges' selection this year for our Best in Show award was unanimous," reported John Kinkade, board member for the Show. "It was a surprise to have a sculpture win given that, for the last 24 years, all prior Best in Show honors have gone to painters." Jane DeDecker and Alyson Kinkade said of the award, "We are thrilled that 'In the Wings' won Best of Show this year. We feel the Arts are about connections, so it is exciting to us for a collaboration that celebrates sculpture and painting to have won because the Governor's Art Show embraces both mediums and unites the community in an appreciation of Colorado's great art so well. "We set out to create a piece that embodies the synergy of collaboration; "What really sets this composition apart are the dualities throughout the piece; through color and the materials used, our method of creating, how the figures are both together and apart; the tension from these dualities draw the viewer in. It is radiant and explosive." The Western Art Collector's Award of Merit was given to "The Nightmare," by Nathan Solano. The show also presented Awards of Merit to: · Michael Baum, "Rising Storm" · Jeremy Manyik, "Standing Ground" · Don Hamilton, "Moonlight Serenade" · Mark Bailey, "Mercado Impression" · Scot Lancashire, "The Rez" · Karen Storm, "Winter in the Valley" · Lora Witt, "With the Sun Shining Through" · Tom Lockhart, "In for the Night" · Mark Thompson, "Tulips with Robin's Egg" · Sherrie York, "Dinner Party" York commented, "I feel so fortunate to have been selected for this year's exhibition, and to help celebrate the show's 25-year commitment to Colorado art and artists. And of course the opportunity to share my work and talk about my process with such an engaging and supportive audience is always a joy."
