"Fundamental elements of composition guide our creative decisions, and artists must coordinate between experimentation, intuition, and foresight. In Touch & Go, juried by guest juror Libby Garon of Walker Fine Art Gallery, we will be taking a closer look at two critical elements of composition: texture and movement. By focusing on these two key details, we received a wide variety of submissions, ranging from 2D to 3D, and realism to abstraction, with strong attention shown to texture and movement."

honorable mention
American Jackalope - papier-mâché sculpture
"The careful design of the ears and the creativity of how the horns are rendered both
beautiful and slightly sinister at the same time make this a very unique and interesting
piece. The patina and slight use of color add to the overall shamanistic feel."
Daniel Marshall, Juror
Installation win
One of my public art project designs was up for community vote in the city of Broomfield. And now it will be installed in October.
This is a digital drawing intended to be reproduced on the 13.5x6 feet traffic box in the city of Broomfield, CO. They allocate a portion of their budget for the public art to continually beautify the community with their public art collection of the artwork from Colorado professional artists as well as young children artists.
This design is inspired by the sunflower fields in Colorado, but it’s also a nod to my Ukrainian heritage. Sunflower is the national flower of Ukraine. I recently read that sunflowers always turn towards the light, but on a cloudy days when there is no sunlight, they find another sunflower and turn towards each other to share the energy. The birds in this artwork symbolize peace and hope.
This work is intentionally designed with each panel being it’s own composition without light-box corners cutting important elements of the image.

Exoskeleton "Humans with exoskeleton in the mix might be a future of the medical tech, however here I refer to another human as an exoskeleton. Their ribcages are attached to each other with symbolic wires for support and protection."
Earthrise "Setting your soul on fire encompasses human desire to reach, to change, and to help. This piece is about environmental and human issues. The transformation allows us to make a difference, because we can’t give what we don’t have and make home where we are."
