Exhibit Judge: Mary Joan Hinson
Mary Joan, a lifelong artist, cultivated her passion for oils from an early age, expanding her studies across the United States, Europe, and the Far East. Transitioning from her role as a Professor of Fine Arts and Humanities at Florida State College at Jacksonville, she earned her PhD in 2005, subsequently dedicating herself to teaching and exhibiting across the eastern United States. In 2020, Mary Joan redirected her focus to exclusive artistic pursuits, earning accolades such as the Botticelli Award for Contemporary Painting and the 2022 Best Public Art award for her Florida Shorebirds mural. Renowned for large-scale murals and acclaimed studio work, she has garnered prestigious honors, including the Word Revolt Planetary Award and the Teravarna Gallery International Abstraction Talent Award. Committed to creating compositionally exquisite pieces with a technically sound approach, Mary Joan eagerly anticipates showcasing her work in galleries worldwide..
Judge's Statement
The standard of work submitted was consistently high, demonstrating a wide range of artistic styles, creative approaches, and individual interpretations. It was encouraging to see such diversity across the entries, with participants showcasing not only technical ability but also originality and personal expression. Many of the works displayed a strong understanding of their subject matter and a thoughtful approach to composition, making the selection process particularly challenging. In making the final selections, I carefully considered several key criteria. Strong drawing skills were an important factor, particularly the effective use of line, proportion, form, and observation. I also looked for quality presentation, including the overall finish of the work and the attention given to visual impact. Sound composition was another significant consideration, with successful pieces demonstrating a balanced arrangement of elements that guided the viewer’s eye and strengthened the overall design.As the quality of the submissions was exceptionally high, these criteria became increasingly important in distinguishing the selected works. In many cases, the differences between entries were very subtle, and the final decisions reflected the works that combined technical proficiency with thoughtful presentation and a compelling visual composition.
