Freehold Art Society members Jane Gavghen and Karen Martin were juried in to the Guild of Creative Art’s 28th Annual Open Juried Show.

Two of Karen’s works were accepted. She won the Mitchell Award for Acrylics for her piece, B Side 45s. The judge remarked on the work: “A wonderfully intimate capture, this piece is lively and nostagic. It brings to mind the compositional style and quiet draftsmanship of Cassatt. The repetition of forms from the lively eyes and records bring life and playfulness to this image.”

Yay! Should be fun! https://freeholdartsociety.wordpress.com/family-fun-day-at-pattersons-greenhouses/
