Juror:  Ann Zembala, Director Pierce Museum

 

Ann Zembala has been the Director of the Pearce Museum at Navarro College, Corsicana TX since 2015.  The Pearce Museum houses the 240 works (and growing!)  of the Western Art collection, along with collections of civil war correspondence and one of the nation’s most thorough collections of prehistoric hunting tools and arrowheads.

Prior, Ann was the founding Deputy Director of the Baltimore Museum of Industry, overseeing exhibits and grants for 21 years.  She said she developed a love for fine arts (and Joseph Turner) while interning at both the British Museum in London, and the Smithsonian in Washington DC.   However, she notes that she now prefers Western Art as a genre, as it encompasses a wide range of styles from realism, to Impressionism to Modernism, and can range from historical narrative to landscape and wildlife.
