1st Place – K. Dawne Holmes – “Poppies”
Dawne’s current series of work are botanicals, a passion of mine that has evolved from having traveled amongst and cultivated many families of plants including cacti, succulents and tropicals. Dawne States this about her paintings, “What inspires me is their complexity and diversity as living sculpture. Their sensuality, exuberance and perseverance compels me to convey the joy and fascination that they bring to everday life. My paintings induce a sense of calm and reassurance as well as drama and individual brilliance, helping us to remain connected to nature while being surrounded by technology. My goal is to establish a reputation as an artist in this field of contemporary art.” www.kdawneholmes.com
2nd Place – Ursala I. Abresch – “Summer”
Ursula is a fine art photographer based in the West Kootenays, which is located in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. Her style can loosely be classified as photo-impressionism.

Roxanne states this about her art, “I paint in acrylics in what would be called a representational style. Landscape, still life, animals, flowers … Nature in all its forms are my inspiration. My creative insight has taken form in many mediums — from doodling as a kid to stained glass, graphic design, residential and landscape architecture, ceramics and, of course, painting.” www.rgfawcettdesign.com

Brian Everett Miller is a fine art photographer based in West Virgina. Brian studied art history in college and did some painting early on but did not find photography until he was in his thirties. Brian says this about his art, “I happened upon a documentary entitled “Camera Obscura”, and it really spoke to that part of me that was searching for something. I bought a camera the next day and never looked back. I engage in all genres of photography, but I usually work in one theme or series at a time, chasing after whatever interests me. I am currently at work on an upcoming book of flower photography. The work of Robert Mapplethorpe and Imogen Cunningham has been huge influences of mine while working on the book.” http://brianeverettmillerphotography.com
