THIS YEAR'S JUROR

Doylene H. Land attributes her affinity for wide-open spaces to living most of her life in west Texas.  The area’s desert environment, vast sky and the ever-changing clouds have mesmerized her since childhood. She is particularly enthralled with the flat, stark horizon. As an oil painter, this linear horizon is often reflected in her designs. She combines images of cherished everyday objects and elements from nature, creating personal visual narratives. She has been represented in galleries in Santa Fe, New Mexico and San Angelo, Texas.  Her work is in private collections across the nation.
