With the gray dreary weather for Art Walk in Bowling Green, Carole Kauber’s paintings of brilliant Southwestern landscapes certainly had an added appeal
“She’s not afraid to use striking colors,” Sara Busler, one of the jurors, said. With the large paintings set up in a back space in Coyote Beads, “I felt really small around them.”
“It’s like you were there,” fellow juror Lauren Canavan said
Her abstract realistic work won the top juror’s prize at the 25th Art Walk.
The top People’s Choice honor went to a fixture at Art Walk, Tom Roller for his nature-inspired metal sculpture. Roller has been a frequent award winner. Last year, he won both the top jury prize and the top People’s Choice honor.
Roller said this will be his last appearance at Art Walk. He’s already stopped doing other art fairs. This was the only show he did this year.
Not that he’ll stop sculpting at his Clark Street workshop. “I have to do something to keep busy.”
Other winners were:
- Ann Beck, jewelry, Ginny’s Inspired Fashion, second place, Jury Award.
- Mary Dennis, ceramics, Grounds for Thought, third place, Jury Award.
- Diana Bibler, sculpture, Mode Elle Boutique, second place, People’s Choice.
- Victoria Thompson, body painting, Encore Bridal, third place, People’s Choice.
