2nd Annual ColorsArt ExhibitionMarch 2018

Welcome to Fusion Art’s 2nd Annual Colors International Online Juried Art Exhibition for the month of March 2018.

For this competition artists were encouraged to share their best art and photography using a concentration of colors. One color or a multitude of colors met the criteria for this competition. All artists, over the age of 18, regardless of location or experience, were encouraged to submit their best representational or abstract artwork.

We once again received a diverse collection of quality artwork from artists all around the world including the US, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Israel, Iran, Czech Republic, India, Belgium, Costa Rica, Hungary, South Korea, Oman, Poland, Mexico, Philippines, and France.

In each monthly themed exhibition Fusion Art presents awards in two categories: Traditional Art and Digital Art & Photography. The Colors Best in Show winners are Pam Folsom for her mixed media, “Blowing 2” and Marcia Berg Haskell for her manipulated photograph, “Lineman’s Nightmare.” Both Pam and Marcia are Fusion Art’s Featured Artists for the month of March 2018 and, as the Best in Show winners, both artists are invited to participate in Fusion Art’s 3rd Annual Group Show in Palm Springs in November 2018.

Other award winners include Second Place winners, Richard W. von Gerhardberg for his oil on canvas, “Gordian Cross” and Lydia Kittle for her mixed media photograph, “Mi Hija.” Third Place awards were given to Hunter Jay for his acrylic on canvas, “Sunshine’s Daughter” and Michelle Woitzel her mixed media digital on canvas, “One Step at a Time.”

This month, eight honorable mention awards are given as special recognition due to the exceptional quality of the art received for this competition. Honorable Mention awards in the Traditional Art category are given to Mark Kaufman for his watercolor, “Red Dancer,” Traci Loving for her acrylic painting, “Santa Rita Bloom”, Marina Cappalli for her graphite and markers on Bristol paper, “Red Samurai” and Yael Maimon for her watercolor on Fabriano paper, “Echoes of Ocean.” Honorable Mention awards in the Digital & Photography category are given to John Ressler for his digital on aluminum plate, “Fibonacci Rising”, Armen Edgarian for his photograph, “Oriental-Red-Blue-Yellow”, Rosemary Miklitsch for her photograph, “Ice Castle at Night” and Jake Mosher for his photo on metal, “Midnight Express.” Please visit the Monthly Winners Page to learn more about each of these award winning artists and/or to contact them directly about their work.

The remaining finalists in the exhibition all exemplify uniquely creative talents and we’re honored to showcase their artwork on the Fusion Art website.

As always, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank all the competition participants. While not all the artwork that was submitted was selected for inclusion in the exhibition this in not necessarily a reflection on any one artist’s talent and/or skill.  It takes courage for artists to offer up one’s art up for critique by others and all the artists should be applauded for their efforts. We appreciate all of you sharing your extraordinary talent with us.

For anyone interested in purchasing any of the artwork in this exhibition, please contact the artists directly. Fusion Art does not engage in selling the artwork featured in any of its monthly online exhibitions. All purchase inquiries should be directed to the artist. You will find the artist’s website and/or email information below their work.

Thank you for visiting our website and enjoy the exhibition!
