“I thoroughly enjoyed seeing all of the entries – scoring them, however, was difficult! Almost half were pieces I would be happy to have had in the show though even my top tier choices equaled more than there was room for. Since only about 1 in 10 could be included I knew there was going to be a lot of really fine pieces that wouldn’t make the cut. Thanks for inviting me to jury – It was an honor and an important task I took very seriously.” – Steamboat Art Museum Juror Rosetta
