#1: Judge’s Pick 

Beth Anne Lutz
“Windsong Meadow”
Encaustic

Creating an encaustic painting is my way of creative self-expression, much like writing a song, where each layer of beeswax, pigment, and texture becomes part of a visual melody. As I build, scrape, and fuse the surface, the work unfolds as an expression of harmony and connection, reflecting the quiet rhythms and ever-changing beauty of the natural world.

#2: also Community Choice

June “JJ” Travis 
“RUSTING 60’s SWAG (aka Promo Pins)”
Watercolor & Ink (sealed) on Vintage 60’s Fabric

“Statement” Pins were on handbags & clothing during the 60’s. The pins have metal backings so many are now rusting around the edges, however the messages still apply. These individual paintings are either exact replicas or representations of said pins, mounted, sealed and then attached to Vintage 60’s cloth (think clothing). 

#3:

Kevin Michael Winterfield 
“Kidaudra”
Color Photography

Kidaudra is an amazing solo electronic musician out of Peekskill, NY.

Good day, all! I wanted to mention this upcoming 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟔𝐭𝐡 show that Cliff Starkey and I will be playing Nazareth Center for the Arts in downtown Nazareth, PA. I mention this now as this is a very cool, small (60 seats) listening room which sells out very quickly. We’d love to have you join us so if you’re interested in purchasing tickets, I suggest you do so at your earliest convenience. Cliff will be on keys/vocals and I’ll be playing acoustic guitar/vocals. Hope you can join us for this intimate evening of music. Thanks!
