The Show was non-juried for entries but judged for awards by Janet Warner. Janet is an artist and educator based in New Haven. She has an MFA from Western Connecticut State University and is Adjunct Professor of Studio Arts at Quinnipiac University, Gateway Community College, and Community College of Rhode Island teaching color theory, design, painting, and drawing. She exhibits throughout Connecticut, New York, and beyond. She has a studio in Erector Square where her grandma and her sisters worked during WWII.
Her art practice has been focused on a nonobjective exploration of color and color relationships, allowing the process of mixing pigments to dictate the color boundaries and color relationships within her paintings. She is also interested in how pigments act differently based on age, manufacturer, and the mediums she uses.
