Best in Show (Traditional) – Lisa Perrin-Kosmo – IN THE LIGHT – water-based oil on canvas

BIS-45-trad.-Lisa-Perrin-Kosmo-IN-THE-LIGHT-.bLiving near Lake Superior, in northeastern Minnesota, surrounded by rivers, woods gorgeous shoreline – I find it easy to let my mind escape to these images. I’m inspired to represent what life has to offer and to celebrate visually all that I am grateful for. My work embodies lifelike realism and blends it into abstract themes to create in unreal yet seemingly natural scene.

Best in Show (Photography & Digital) – David G. Lee – “BLACK WOLF NOT IN THE MOOD TO PLAY” – digital art

BIS-25-dp.-David-G.-Lee-BLACK-WOLF-NOT-IN-THE-MOOD-TO-PLAY-.bDave Lee is a digital artist who creates artwork, using the latest computers and graphics software available today. As a lifelong resident of Indiana, he has been creating art since his early years in Indianapolis. As Dave experimented with various art-creation mediums over the years and enrolled in various art classes, he struggled to find a style and medium that would enhance his natural art abilities. His attempts to paint with watercolors, acrylics and oils ended with unsatisfactory work and results.

In the early 1990’s, he purchased his first personal computer to use in graphic design work. This was at a time when virtually no one owned a personal computer. Over the years, as his skills improved, Dave realized that today’s computers and software were the perfect tools for him to use as the new “brush and canvas” combination for digital art creation. With more than 25 years of computer experience, he uses these components to create popular, digital artwork with qualities that far surpass the art he created long ago.

Currently, Dave is inspired to create his digital art based mostly on nature, rural scenes and architecture, and he continues to experiment with different subjects and styles. Today, art creation is Dave’s passion and he’s blessed to have considerable time to devote to his effort.
