2017 Spring Show Award Winners

This year’s Spring Online Show was highly competitive with 770 entries! Awards Juror Donna Krueger, owner of dk Gallery and dk2 Gallery, selected the 15 winners. According to Krueger, “This show was a gem. The Grand Prize winner, ‘Tanget’ by Guenevere Schwien beamed with mastery of medium, technique, composition, drafting skills and quality of design. The hidden story is told with such originality. I love the abstract sensibility! It sang to me!”
