Meet This Year's Juror 

Kathleen Frugé-Brown painter, printmaker, and public artist

Artist Statement: Whether I am painting outdoors, carving a print in my studio, or designing for a public space, my art is rooted in my love for the natural world. The river and forest surrounding my Pacific Northwest studio are a constant source of imagery and spiritual nourishment to me, and my roots have gone down deep in the hours I’ve stood outdoors painting. I hope to share that with others, through paintings that invite viewers into a special place and moment, and through public art that strengthens and celebrates viewers' connection to their own landscape.
