Award Winners:

Jurer, Joanne Radmilovich Kollman (https://www.radmilovichkollman.com/) is a Northwest oil painter; her representational paintings of the figure, landscape and still life are earmarked by a lyrical style and unique eye for design. Brushwork and use of broken color elicit movement and spontaneity in her paintings. As a representational alla prima oil painter, her surroundings are her motivation to explore her subjects with the expressive quality of oil paint.
