1st Place

Catherine Burack “Stepping Out”

“These abstract paintings burst with life through the use of primary colors, impasto and layering techniques, and expressive brushstrokes. By layering and mixing these simple colors, textured surfaces are created to convey the essence of emotions and the universality of human experience. These paintings challenge viewers to question both the content and process”
