Watercolor Finalist - Fusion Art Quarterly Exhibition
“Eight artists were chosen to participate in Fusion Art’s first quarterly group exhibition. All the artists who participated in the competition have uniquely creative talents but the winners chosen exemplify a mastery in the use of the watercolor medium.

We received a diverse collection of quality watercolor artwork from artists around the world including the US, Canada, Pakistan, India, Australia and the United Kingdom. Eight artists were chosen to participate in the group exhibition, which will remain open on the Fusion Art website until April 14, 2017.

Congratulations again to all the winners and thank you for sharing your incredible talent with us.”

I'm honored to have been chosen as a finalist for this lovely exhibition! They showed me some love, so, please visit their site and show them some too.

(text here, if you can't see the image:  A common knock against ArtPrize is that too many pieces are heavy on process, light on inspiration – but this collection of close-up, hand-drawn eyes, clustered around a video documenting their creation, boldly flaunts its process as inspiration. This Ypsilanti artist is both a School of the Art Institute of Chicago alum and a Wayne State University anatomy PhD, and her entry deploys the breadth of that educational resume. See it: Women’s City Club, 254 E. Fulton Street.
