​JURORS’ STATEMENT
When I was asked to jury this show, I was honored to do so.  Critiquing art work has always been one of my endeavors as an artist.  My career was one of a high school art instructor; my contention has always been, “I had one of the best jobs a person could pursue.” In teaching I always believed the following:  art is a way of living,  a way to develop ones’ self-confidence, a way to question, and, a way to think and to problem-solve. And, to this end, I always gave my students “assignments” which required them to sort through answers and find the best solutions.  

To accompany this way of teaching, I relied heavily on the “critiquing” process where they were asked to “defend” themselves (so to speak), or, in other words, to verbalize or write justifications for their choices.  Then, as a follow up, I wrote copious amounts of dialogue with my own evaluations. 

​To this day I continue the “questioning” process, and this kind of thinking has translated into how I conduct a “jury” session of an art exhibit.  You, the audience, certainly have the right to disagree with me.  My opinion is simply one opinion.  In this exhibit I have tired diligently to ask myself questions about your work.  I NEVER intend to offend or alienate, rather, to express what your work tells me.  All of you are very attached to your art, as I am to mine. With this in mind, my statements, if representative of “constructive criticism” is just my way of try to help you see how you might try to improve a particular piece of art work. With very few exceptions, I did not know whose work I was seeing, so, my judgments (right or wrong), purely were my reaction to a “visual statement.”  With that being said, I hope you will gain something from my comments.  Thank you.
