Member-Student Award Winners

The Lighthouse ArtCenter has opened its 35^th Annual Celebrate the Arts Exhibition, highlighting works by its members, adult students and faculty. The exhibition showcases art of all media from drawing, painting and photography to ceramics, sculpture and fiber art, giving artists a chance to show off their talents and creativity. The exhibition will be on display through April 20.

Jacques de Beaufort, a professor at Palm Beach State College, was the judge of the exhibition. “I was very impressed by the variety, originality and technical excellence of the work that you presented. It seems that many artists in the exhibition have established very coherent and unique creative visions that are readily apparent from the pieces on display,” he said. “I selected work for recognition that resonated with me as a viewer on a personal level, but was also objectively in possession of a high level of artistic identity and accomplishment.”

Best of Show was awarded to John Cooksey for his oil painting called “Ancestors.”

Linda McVay’s “Mary Makes a Grand Canyon Wish” -

In the Portrait Category awards were presented to Linda McVay, first place for “Mary Makes a Grand Canyon Wish,” second place to Joseph Pierre for “Reinforcements for Act I,” and third place to Barbara Danenberg for a portrait of a young red-headed boy named “Henry Blackwell.”

Suzanne Todd’s “End of Day”

Awards for the watercolor category were first place for Suzanne Todd’s, “End of Day,” second place for Shirley Steffen’s “Shelling,” and third place for Sharon Ferina’s “Nature’s Orchestra.”

In the Oil/Acrylic Category, Barry Zelikson won first place for “Market in Romania,” Gail Brater was awarded second place for “Motif #1, Rockport, Massachusetts,” third place went to Kathleen Kauss for “Keeping Calm,” and honorable mentions were presented to Joy Kasun for “Palms at Dawn” and Donna Walling for “Strings & Horns.”

David Shea’s “Guardian”

In the mixed category the awards were first place to David Shea for a sculpture called “Guardian,” second place for a photograph by John P. Kearns, “Ferris Wheel at Sunset,” third place to Nina Fusco, “Reach,” Paper, and honorable mentions to Malcolm MacKenzie for a photograph “Bristlecone Pine,” and Joan Lustig for a monotype print, “Sea-Saw Series V.”

The Executive Director’s Award chosen by Katie Deits was presented to Christine Fogel for a collage called “Self Portrait.” ”The member, student and faculty art exhibition and sale is a chance for people to see the tremendous amount of talent in our area; from professional artists, many of whom learned there skills at our School of Art, to beginning students who are showing their first works,” Ms. Deits said. “It is also a great opportunity to purchase art for one’s home or office.”
