Juror: Beth Welch Exhibitions Curator, Louisiana
Arts and Science Muesum of Baton Rouge, LA
Ms Welch has been a regularly exhibited artist at the Kellwood Contemporary Gallery, and Firehouse galleries in Baton Rouge, as well as group shows at the Alexandria Museum of Art, Alexandria, LA, Cultural Center of Cape Cod, Gallery 114, Portland, OR, Masur Museum of Art of Monroe, LA, and the Brownsville Museum of Art, Brownsville, TX. Welch has also recently been featured in Create! Magazine’s Women's issue.
She paints and draws on non-traditional supports, as well as taking photographs. Her current drawing work focuses on layering separate charcoal and pen drawings into a single work, exploring large cropped compositions of mothers and children. These works examine the traditions of media, and the psychology of perceptions, created by the laying process which can both emphasize as well as diffuse details.
