The work in the Artful Raffle and Silent Auction offered many styles from traditional techniques to contemporary digital imaging. Choosing one person from such a talented group of artists was a difficult task.
Ultimately we chose Susan Larkin as the winner of this show. We felt that Susan’s photography really spoke to her mastery of her chosen medium. Susan’s use of light, composition and scale combined to create a rich experience for us as viewers. At each step of the creative process, from subject matter to materials, Susan’s choices allow the viewer to fully engage with her work.”
