Betsy
Feick, Florence MA, USA
"Sculpture with Yellow" 2011
| As
a painter and printmaker, my work has been abstractly based on nature and natural
forms, with a dreamlike quality to the color and compositions. As a photographer,
these concerns show up transformed by the “reality” of the medium.
It has been fascinating to make the adjustment from the essentially additive medium
of painting, to the subtractive/selective mode of the camera. My hope is to challenge
the viewer's mind/eye to see the world with fresh eyes. Juror:

Bev
Pettit, Skull Valley, AZ, USA (

"Grace"
2011
| Bev
Pettit is an internationally published photographer who specializes in equine
and western lifestyle photography. Having been around horses her entire life it
was only natural that Pettit would choose the horse and the West as her main photographic
subjects. Inspired by her love of horses, she strives to go beyond the inherent
beauty of the animals to convey emotion in her work, at times using starkness
to isolate details and to create a sense of intimacy with the viewer. Her work
is represented by fine art galleries in Arizona and Oregon. Bev also teaches on-line
photography courses and holds small group or private workshops. Bev lives on a
small ranch in Skull Valley, AZ, with her family and their five horses. Juror:

Eleanor
Owen Kerr, Baton Rouge, LA, USA
"On the Batture: Levitation II"
2010
| Eleanor
Owen Kerr’s photographs flow from her responses to the natural world. She
studied extensively with Paul Caponigro and holds a Professional Certificate from
Rockport College. Her current project, “On the Batture” began with
a stroll over the Mississippi River levee. She says, “ I was instantly seduced
by the power of the river and the mystery of the no-man’s land between the
river and levee. I stumbled upon a landscape of compelling primal forces all the
more astonishing by its separation from cars and concrete by a mere 100 foot ribbon
of levee.” Several pieces from this project were recently acquired by the
LSU Museum of Art and by Renaissance Hotel. Eleno's work is also in the permanent
collection of the State Department and hangs in the U.S. Malaysian embassy. Eleanor
is represented by Ann Connelly Fine Art and Baton Rouge Gallery, Carol Robinson
Gallery in New Orleans, and exhibits in juried shows around the country. Her work
was featured recently in SHOTS magazine and Silvershotz Journal. Juror:

Ellen
Jantzen, St. Louis, MO, USA
"Transplanting Reality"
2012
| Ellen
Jantzen was born and raised in St. Louis Missouri. Her first college degree was
in graphic arts; later emphasizing fine art. In 1992, after a move to Los Angeles
California, she graduated FIDM (the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising)
with an advanced degree in fashion. She worked for several years at Mattel Toy
Company as a senior project designer, but became disillusioned with the corporate
world and longed for a more creative outlet. Having been trained in computer design
while at Mattel, she set about to learn Photoshop. As digital technology
advanced and cameras were producing excellent resolution, she found her perfect
medium. It was a true confluence of technical advancements and creative desire
that culminated in her current explorations in photo inspired art using both a
camera to capture images and a computer to alter and manipulate the pieces. Juror:
