JUROR STATEMENT:

“There were so many amazing, inspired works in this year’s Youth Art Exhibition at Phillips’ Mill. I wish I could have given them all awards. It is my hope that these fine artists continue their path of creativity, shining a light on expression and the importance of art. I chose "Portrait of a Dreamer" by Delia McHugh as Best in Show for its unteachable sensitivity, originality in the use of materials, conveyance of theme, and overall presentation!”
