2023 winners
Congratulations to the winners of the 2023 Women’s Show!
“It was an honor to juror the Women’s Show. I loved the energy each female artist brought to this show. The work was well done and the variety spoke to me. I selected ‘Ghost in Your Stereo’ by Erica Ledford as Best in Show. This phenomenally executed watercolor portrays a relatable story. Erica managed to capture a moment of reflection in a young woman’s day. I enjoyed her use of complementary colors to give this image energy and life. Her color choice is ‘abstract’ yet the portrait is so real. ” — Dani Klein, juror
