Juror:
Lee Nixon, a native of Orange County, VA, received his Bachelor of Science degree in Art Education from Virginia State University in 1975. He works primarily in acrylics for their versatility and compatibility with other media. His impressionist paintings reflect a need, care, and reverence for a serene earth, and the desire to share it with the viewer through color, pattern, and texture. His paintings have appeared in numerous galleries, including The Science Museum of Virginia, The Purcell Gallery at The Louisa Arts Center, numerous exhibitions at area hospitals, and The Arts Center in Orange.
“The Depiction of Light, devised through vibrant colors is the essence of my work! And, being outside brings joy to my soul. It engages all of the senses; touch, smell, taste, and sight. Now, I am in my studio. Splashes of colorful washes are applied to a blank canvas. My palette is loaded with bright complementary colors. The sense of touch is enlightened through the application of modeling paste, tissue paper, or found objects, natural or man-made.”
