Kim Losse (juror)
PO Box 216
Dallas, WI 54733
Topic: The Business of Art: It doesn’t just happen!
Steve seemed to have a very cavalier attitude toward judging. He did mostly the 20 art and made
some evaluations. I thought were overly generous or entirely off base. His presentation was poor.
He offered a power point handout produced by his wife I would imagine. It was thorough and on-
topic, but he was not prepared to show it, nor did he ever allude to it. His talk wandered through
irrelevant reminiscences of his college days! The good news is that Steve is both a photographer
and painter, and Kim a poet and printmaker.
Kim did a very thorough and conscientious job judging and as a presenter. He did well bringing
Steve back on track when he wandered and digressed. He also offered constructive comments on
procedures.

artist at some of the National Parks. She gave information as to how one can apply for this
position. She showed her sketches and finished a painting done on-sight, shared her experiences
with the park staff and showed the places where she lived when in the park. The presentation
was very informative. Kristen is an excellent speaker and kept the audience laughing and
attentive throughout her program. Kristen was also the judge. Her critique was very informative.

completed.

indicated how local artists are “getting it all together”. She said that “as several paintings sold, it

Topic: Watercolor demonstration. David did a nice job with the watercolor demo. He was all
prepared and was able to complete a piece within the time allowed.

seemed to be able to justify the selection in other media although I questioned some of the
choices.

Artist demonstration of different watercolor techniques. Pleasant personality. Did a good job
presenting and demonstrating her painting techniques. The group communicated that they
enjoyed seeing her process and also very much liked her artwork. As a juror, there were mixed
reviews about her critiques. Maybe a form for the jurors to fill out would be help them be more
specific in their explanations. Overall this artist was pleasant and very talented but needed lots of
follow-up with the coordinator throughout this process. I think she is a great guest artist but
wouldn’t use her as a juror.

LaCrosse – June 21, 2014
Ellen Roles (artist)
LaCrosse, WI
Topic: To Plan or not to Plan”. Content to basic – most attending far beyond content.
Ellen Roles and Mary Ann Narveson
Well I will never hire local judges. Both of them knew everyone ln the list. All but one of Mary
Ann’s recruits for show won an award. Ellen had several people she knew, many students of her.
I guess show wasn’t big enough to eliminate who knew who. Also, jurors didn’t evaluate two
people (artists) one because it was coordinator and one was juror’s husband (Mary Ann’s).
After the jurors did their job I was told I didn’t receive feedback because of my coordinator
status. Things were quite rocky for a few days – I really don’t think Mary Ann is happy with
WRAP guidelines for coordinators. However, Ellen and I never really connected for the event.
There was so much behind seens. The two jurors communicated back and forth completely left
me out of decision making process. I didn’t get to bring out my ribbons for artists at John
Ready’s okay – Jurors not happy about it, but it was done. Overall show and exhibitors very
happy.

Monroe – May 4, 2013
Ingrid Dohm (artist & juror)
Rockford, IL
Ingrid is well known locally for her precision in watercolor painting flowers. She brought fresh
flowers to the workshop for participants to paint from life. After a brief yet entertaining first
demonstration, the workshop participants began to paint. Her experience and skill make the
process seem easy and carefree. We all tried to mimic her body stance, brush loading, and arm
gestures. After two more demonstrations to show how the layering of watercolor washes
processes, we all left with a finished still life painting. It was a challenging, fun and successful
workshop.
The juror was also Ingrid Dohm. Although we only had 18 participants in the show, it was some
of the highest quality work. The audience appreciated all of Ingrid Dohm’s suggestions and
praise.

M. Virginia Epps (artist)
970 W. Highland St.
Whiteater, WI 53190
(262) 473-6247
Presentation by M. Virginia Epps was just wonderful. The slide presentation held the audience’s
attention and, in fact, they showed their interest by speaking out with comments and asking
questions. A student assistant, Sara Hoag, assisted Virginia and was a great help. Ms. Epps
showed slides of her “painting” with brown paper bags, how she used quilling to emphasize areas
in her pieces. Also, she had slides to show her tools and passed out hands-on examples. Virginia
has a vivacious personality and, it showed. The presentation couldn’t have gone better.
Professor Mertens (juror)
Associate Dean of the College of Arts and Publications
206 North Franklin St.
Whitewater, WI 53190
(262) 473-5764
Professor Mertens gives an excellent critique that holds the interest of all the artists there. His
comments on a particular piece of art involves everyone. They are remarks that each of the
artists can take away and apply to their work. He is able to comment on each painting and not be
influenced with perhaps some knowledge of the artist.

(815) 777-2277
Janet outlined the criteria she had used to pick award winners, and pointed out that these were
her opinions. She lead a thoughtful discussion and had each artist tell the background story and
techniques they had used for their pieces. This was wonderful, and often sparked deeper
understanding of the piece and/or discussion on techniques and exploration of new medias.

Topic: What is it? Bob did an excellent job telling us of his journey on becoming an artist and
culminating with his latest project of writing, illustrating, and publishing a children’s series of
books with the dyslexic child in mind. It was very enlightening.
I was pleased with the job Bob did of the judging. His critiqu4es were very informative. He gave
his reasons of why a piece was picked for state and others were not. He judged on the whole
package and gave valuable information on framing also.

delighted with Leah’s presentation.
Wausau – December 29, 2012
David Hummer – (artist & juror)
Topic: How to help yourself decide what media you truly want to work in. Also, tips on framing
economically but professionally.
We had a small group (9-10) due to the holiday season and snowstorm. But even those who were
going to leave early, stayed to listen and question David. Because he has owned and run galleries
in Milwaukee and Chicago, David knows what he likes and what he feels deserves awards. He
did well though, as someone making his living as an artist, helping all of us “non-pro’s” with
helpful suggestions and economical hints for us also.
Coordinator comment. The Center for Visual Arts loft is a great gallery space but the time we
could book it was rough. Full holiday season – hard to find a juror (our juror was the 5th
person
we contacted.)

Eric Appleton
(262) 472-5571

Spoke on his favorite way of doing collages and set design. Lots of audience involvement,
questions and answers. He was exceptional and knew his art although he is primarily a theater
person.
Prairie du Sac – February 19, 2011
John Ribble
702 Baltzell St.
Madison, WI 53711
608/692-1509
Topic: “Plein Aire Painting for Wisconsin in February”. Great. I feel like the group got the
world’s best “basic art info lesson in an hour” talk. Then John demonstrated a soft pastel
landscape from a photo using his “set-up” for outdoor painting. The amount of information
shared was incredible! Tips, brands, secrets.
John did a great job balancing his reasons and the artist’s intents. He was not afraid to tell artists
what could be done to improve, but also what really worked. He encouraged discussion and kept
it really fun!
Mineral Point – February 27, 2011
Pamela Callahan
4568 County Road Q
Highland, WI 53543
608/935-5114
Workshop topic: Exploring abstraction.
Pam showed slides of her work and explained her progression from figurative work to
abstraction after which participants had a chance to try out a number of exercises in a non-
intentional mark making. I think this was useful for some3 but perhaps a bit baffling for other
more representational types.
Pam did a fine job of discussing the artwork and showed an evenness for appreciating all types of
art whether representational or not. I think the artists who have experimented with abstract art
especially appreciated the opportunity to have an exchange with an abstract artist.

Topic: Liquid latex as a resist for watercolor paintings.
She gave an excellent workshop. She demonstrated the technique that she uses in her painting.
She had supplies and everyone had a chance to experiment with this technique.
Wendy’s critique was also very helpful and encouraging for our artists. She also stressed the
presentation of their paintings, commenting on framing and matting. Everyone enjoyed the day.
Wendy is a full time artist living in Land O’Lakes. After years of independent study and
exploration of various art forms, watercolor has become her “muse” and medium to follow. It
was classes with Eagle River artist Jane O’Brien that gave Wendy the confidence to exhibit and
sell her work.
She was a part of the Studio Gallery in Boulder Junction for eight years and is currently with
Artistree Gallery in Land O’Lakes. She has shown her work in local, regional and national shows
and especially loves to travel with the Art Gypsies. Sharing her love of creative expression with
others has led to teaching privately, and for the non-profit arts organization, (LOLA) Land
O’Lakes Area Artisans, Inc. As part of the WRAP experience, Powalisz will give a mini-
workshop on using liquid latex as a resist for watercolor paintings that creates batik-like effects.

Nancy Newcomb (artist)
N2922 Marshall Lane
Lake Geneva, WI 53147
262-248-6344
Nancy did a watercolor demonstration on an upright easel. She offered technical advice,
answered questions, told interesting stories from her classes and seminars. She nearly finished
the painting and what was completed was excellent. Many of the artist remained after the
demonstration to ask more individualized question. The painting was a larger piece from a
smaller study.
I have seen Nancy demonstrate before and I am always impressed with it. We will definitely
have her again in the future.
Lorin Willey (juror)
P.O. Box 192
Rosendale, WI 54914
414-949-8359
Lorin did an excellent job. Because of the number of paintings and sculptures he went twice to
the art center, spending 3-4 hours each time. There 104 two-dimensional pieces and 5 sculptures.
His critique was excellent and there were many good comments from the exhibiting artist. I was
also extremely pleased with his handling of the questions asked after the critique. We were on a
time schedule and had to move the critique along rapidly. The room was to be used by the Bell-
Canto Choir before their performance and we had to vacate by 3:00 pm.
Waupaca – June 11, 2011
Adriana Kamenetsky (artist & juror)
849 Ridge Ave., Apt. #2
Evanston, IL 60202
Presentation of personal artwork and favorites followed by critique of one piece of art for each
participant. Excellent critique and especially liked the idea of critiquing one piece for each
exhibitor besides the award winning pieces. Some thought this was the best show sponsored by
our Art Club and liked the idea that the show was up for two weeks for viewing by the general
public. The guest artist and judge provided a slide show of her own works and works of special
interest to her. It was suggested that a screen for the slide show would have helped the
presentation and an easel for the critiques would have been beneficial.

(608) 255-1447
Topic: Her work as student and professional. This laptop slideshow was very well received. The
slides showed her progress, her frustrations etc. Also, she brought in copyrights, etc. She
answered artist’s questions when asked. She showed, but did not comment at that time, the
artwork exhibited. Excellent presentation.
After lunch, Mary Diman gave a critique of the state and honorable mention awards. She
willingly critiqued all artworks and answered any questions. Mary wasx wel versed in art. This
showed in the fine way she handled the critique. Very conscientious and considerate.
Note: There wasn’t anyone who voiced an objection to submitting just one artwork. I thought it
improved the quality in spacing and bringing the “super” artwork.

Carole Spelic served as Guest Artist and juror for the Richland WRAP 2010. Carole is director
of the ArtsBuild Program, Office of continuing Education, University of Wisconsin-Platteville
and is co-owner of the Green Lantern Gallery in Mineral Point, WI. She has more than 20 years
experience as a gallery manager, owner, juror of art exhibits, and art workshop leader. Her topic
for the Richland WRAP 2010 was “Presentation of Art to Galleries.
Carole did an absolutely stunning job. She has a very friendly and supportive style of
presentation. Artists were encouraged to ask questions to which she responded with ease and
clarity. As one artist remarked to me, “She is so articulate. I really learned a lot” This was true in
her explanations for her selected winners and in discussing the artistic aspects of the remaining
art pieces. I found her to be supportive of the artists’ efforts and encouraging in her comments.
I certainly would encourage other WRAP coordinators to invite Carole as their Guest Artist
and/or Juror.

She gave very constructive and instructive comments during the critique.
With 25 people in attendance we enjoyed a presentation by our juror and guest artist, Alice
Tzakais. She showed us an amazing array of book art that she has done for many years. She
teaches these techniques to her grade school children, incorporating principles of good art. She
also does workshops which take longer than our time allowed. She has used her imagination and
art background to paint paste paper for coverings, make handmade paper and assemble these
amazing books in many different fashions. We were all enthralled with her ingenuity and
enthusiasm. After lunch we had our critique which was very informative and instructional.
Refreshments were served in the morning with homemade cookies provided by Ginny Jungwith
– thanks, Ginny, they were delicious.

Topic: Conte crayon portrait. The workshop demonstration was put on by Joyce Eesley. She
graduated with a BFA art education major (certification K12). Her workshop presentation was a
portrait in Conte Crayon of one of the artists. She talked a little about her background, showed
some of her work and talked about the portraits she did. She was an excellent choice. Her
answers to all the questions raised were concise and informative. The portrait that she completed
in approximately one hour and 45 minutes was excellent. Of course, she considered this only a
study. Comments received about the workshop were all very positive although no evaluation
forms were filled out.
As the juror, she stated that “this was the hardest thing I have ever done.” It would have been
easier to pick just a 1st, 2
nd and 3
rd place. The artwork was hanging for approximately one month.
Joyce came in a d spent approximately four hours, and then came back once more for a final look
before making her decision. She has a written critique with a picture of the piece for each state
award winner and for each honorable mention winner. She also gave an excellent critique of all
the winners and answered any questions that were asked. Comments about the judge were
excellent, and there were many requests to have Joyce as a guest at a WCAL meeting.

David DeBold (artist & juror)
Wautoma
Our workshop artist and juror was David DeBoldt, an artist and gallery owner from Waupaca .
He has been an Art Teacher, Art Gallery Manager, Graphic Artist and Free Lance Artist
throughout his career. He currently owns and operates Originals, etc. Art Gallery in Waupaca.
The workshop was titled “Preplanning your next work”. Mr. DeBoldt provided the group of 20
artists with handouts and in-depth explanations of the Elements and Principles of Design. He
brought his own artwork to describe these principles and elements and showed numerous
pictures of famous artists throughout the centuries. He explained how each artist incorporated at
least two of these principles/elements in their works. His discussion was followed by a question
and answer period. I think we all learned a lot from this discussion. Mr. DeBoldt related these
same ideas throughout his critiques of the winning entries and also provided critiques for any
artists upon request.
Our group provides a lunch brought by members of the club to encourage camaraderie with the
artists both within the Rural Rembrandt Art Club and visiting artists. We believe that this
outreach helps us to grow our club membership and creates a sense of goodwill among the
participants.

Workshop: Interesting workshop with a slide presentation of various paintings that showed the
history of still life painting she had researched.
Juror: In spite of no formal training (grandfather was an artist) she was very knowledgeable, soft
spoken, the critique was hard to hear and she seemed concerned to hurt feelings and therefore
was not too critical. Aftewards, she commented she probably wouldn’t judge again.

Richland Center – May 9, 2009
Professor Ron Penkloff – Artist and Juror
(no contact info was given)
Professor Ron Penkoff served admirably as Guest Artist and Juror. This is the second
consecutive year he has performed these roles. He does an excellent job. The artists resonate to
his style. One of the artists referred to it as “laid back.” Indeed, he is very open to comments and
questions from artists. He engages the artists in hands-on exercises and responds with
encouragement and supportive comments. This year his workshop topic was “Color and form”
He began with a slide show of classic European artists and Japanese print makers, point out their
uses of color and form. Then he had all the artists contribute to a line to a large sketch pad on an
easel. After several lines had been added, he began to talk about filing in the spaces created by
the intersecting lines to create forms to which color could be added. It was very engaging and
creative. As one experienced artist said, “I learned so much!”
As Juror, his comments were encouraging. Instead of pointing out the “bad things” about a piece,
he commented on how the artist might improve it. After the general discussion of the art pieces,
he held individual sessions with several of the artists. I think he was genuinely appreciated by the
artists. After benefiting from Prof. Penkoff’s expertise and gentle style for two years running, we
will need to secure a different person or persons for WRAP 2010. This will be a difficult
challenge.
Fond du Lac – May 30, 2009

Following opening remarks by the coordinator and a brief introduction to WRAA by Donna

appropriate. She emphasized the quality of the artwork submitted for the show. All the artists are

Wautoma – June 6, 2009
Julia Flanagan (artist & juror)
55 Springbrook Road
Omro, WI 54963
(920) 410-4241
Artist comments: Julia introduced herself along with her qualifications and explained her
subject in an informative and light-hearted manner. This was a “hands-on” workshop with
materials and tools supplied by the demonstrating artist. It was educational and fun. Participants
first did a rough sketch of their own creative design. This was followed by “carving” with a
pencil into styrafoam. Then each person shared the use of brayers and water soluble ink to ink
their patterns and create their own prints. We have four guests who also participated.
Juror comments: Julia reviewed the exhibit several times prior to starting her demonstration.
After lunch she announced the Honorable Mention winners who proceeded to bring their pieces
into the demonstration area. She gave reasons for her selection and followed up with a critique of
the best qualities of the piece and what the artist could do to improve it. Next she announced the
State Award winners and went through the same process. After all pieces were returned to the
exhibition area, she graciously critiqued each piece at the request of the individual artist.
Coordinator comments: We are limited to a one-day workshop and exhibit as we do not have a
facility available to exhibit for an entire month. To compensate for this shortfall, our club
members provide coffee and doughnuts to the artists during the registration and hanging of the
exhibit and also provide a lunch free of change to all artists and guests at the workshop. All this
is provided by the coordinator’s committee and other members of the club. We find that the time
spent together is a great way to meet other artists and share information.

with amazement and a desire to learn how to “Draw with Scissors.” Also she gave a hands-on
demonstration.
Professor Mertens and Jane Johnson are husband and wife so I had them as both judges. Jane
was our speaker. Excellent! Both did a complete package. Both had the artists who displayed

Rosendale, WI 54974
(414) 343-8359
In talking with Lorin after the judging was completed, his comments were “this was the hardest
thing I have ever done. It would have been easier to pick just a first, second and third place.” The
artwork was hanging for approximately one month. Lorin came back and went over the work
three times before he came to his final decision. He gave an excellent critique of all the state
awards and honorable mentions. He also critiqued any other work if the artist asked for it.
Comments about the judge were excellent, and there were many requests to have Lorin as a guest
at the WCAL meetings.

samples. Bobbette was very knowledgeable and well prepared.
Excellent! The show was small so Bobbette discussed all the work, not just the award winners.
And she discussed each artist’s work as a whole, that is she discussed both of their entries in
relation to each other. Her comments were insightful, professional and extremely educational.

Monica Urbanik (juror)
Carolyn presented a slide show on Plein-air Painting.
Monica was an outstanding judge of the exhibition. She viewed the artwork during the week and
took a great deal of time looking over the work and making her selections. On the day of the
workshop, she spent a couple of hours evaluating the work for the benefit of the exhibitors, not
only the award winners, but all of the WRAP participants. Her critiques were right on the money;
she is a warm caring person and brought encouragement and advice to all.
Beloit – August 23, 2008
Robert Mertens
UW-Whitewater
The workshop went extremely well. Quite a few of the artists requested that I ask him to return
again next year. We had 23 or so in attendance and they stayed focused throughout the entire
slide presentation on how to use symbols to make a point in your picture. The critique also went
very well and most everyone thought he chose well for the awards. He “taught” as he went along
and each one got the same time. Everyone stayed to the end and remained focused.

suggestions for improvements were gentle and very helpful.

Ron Penkoff, Emeritus Professor (artist and juror)
420 E. Court Street
Richland Center, WI 53581
608/647-6115
Topic: Some Cardinal categories of composition. Professor Penkoff did a truly outstanding job
of his presentation. At least half the workshop participants (17) spoke to me with high praise of
his presentation. His explanation of his choice of winners (afternoon) was a bit lacking in detail.
Some of the artists would have appreciated a bit more guidance in how to improve their work.

JoAnne Hauser Warren (artist and juror)
408 North Washington St.
Cuba City, WI 53807

using color effectively and included a watercolor demonstration. Participants created their own
color wheels with overlays to assist them in developing their own harmonious color schemes.
Participants commented that they wished creating the color wheel had come first, so they could
have referred to it during the discussion on color.
JoAnne led an instructive critique/discussion of the artwork. She explained her “grading”
technique used to chose award winners, based on the criteria set by WRAP. Participants were
actively engaged in discussing the artwork, and seemed to understand JoAnne’s feed back. She
also supplied a self-evaluation list to help artist critique their own artwork, which many found
helpful.

Primitive Soul Art Studio
1512 11th
street
Monroe, WI53566
Jennifer Edge holds a BS in art therapy from Edgewood College in Madison and a MS in art
therapy from Mount Mary College in Milwaukee. Her lecture and slide presentation for the
WRAP workshop day was upbeat, motivational – one of the best we have ever had. Her approach
to art and why and how she creates art, was very different from how most of the artists at the
workshop view art. Yet this lecture worked for everyone in attendance; no matter what level or
art media. She stressed how art has the power to transform us, to teach us and help us to grow.
Her slide presentation followed her early work while in college up to the present, as well as the
art of some of her therapy students. She helped the group to understand that you should create the
kind of art you like to do – not what you think other people want to see. That art is really the
expression of one’s soul.

Tomah – May 26, 2006

Excellent pen and ink artist with amazing drawing skills. Pleased with his demo and the “group”

Deborah Meyer (artist & juror)
\N1209 County Highway M
Browntown, WI
608/9696-3256
Topic: Creativity – Things I have learned.
Deb Meyer is very warm and welcoming – workshop participants felt very comfortable with her.
All were interacting with the first few minutes. In the first half of the morning, Deb provided a
Power Point presentation of her artwork – past and present. She deliberately included pieces she
felt were not her best work to show how all artists grow and evolve. She had artists introduce
themselves, what medium they work in, and to share “what inspires them as an artist.” She
continued with the theme of inspiration and creativity. She put together a handout titled
“Creativity – Things I have Learned” and talked about the points included on this sheet. She
talked about a creative matrix. She handed out another sheet with that info and divided the
participants into two groups. One group went upstairs into the concert hall – the other group
stayed downstairs in the gallery area. Each was to use the info discussed previously to finish this
exercise.
As Deb is from this area, she came in twice prior to the workshop to look at the artwork before
she made her final decision as to State and Honorable Award Winners. She also gave a ersonal
hand-written critique for each participating artist, which we put into envelopes and attached to
the back of their artwork. At the end of the workshop she included a packet each for three artists
who did not attend the workshop. All three artists entered work done in pencil. The packet
included various types of drawing paper and a selection of art pencils. She wanted to show these
artists some of the other tool options available for drawing with pencil, as well as inspire and
motivate them to continue drawing and creating. Deb was an excellent judge and juror for a
WRAP workshop.

Diana is a great speaker because she was formally a high school art teacher. She gave a great talk
about how her work moved through pen and ink to watercolor. She is now a full time artist and
has exhibited in many shows. She showed the stages in her watercolors and also talked about
some materials unfamiliar to most of us.
She did a great job critiquing and judging the artwork. She went through the gallery and critiqued
every piece in the show. She did a great job judging everything and everyone was in agreement
with her choices.

which makes others very comfortable and relaxed. I am still hearing comments about how
informative and fun his workshop was. High recommended.
Mark is a very objective as a juror. He is able to look past his personal preferences and focuses
on the strengths of each artist’s work. I’ve been to workshops where this is not the case, and
much prefer objectivity which is much more helpful.

Melanie Herzog (artist & juror)
Edgewood College
1000 Edgewood Drive
Madison, WI 53711-1997
“Identifying Images and Artists’ Heritage in Contemporary Art”
The artist and juror Melanie Herzog of Madison, choice of subject matter for her presentation fit
our audience at our WRAP day perfectly. Starting with a slide of artist Grant Wood’s “American
Gothic” began immediate dialog between the audience and herself, i.e. what was the artist
saying/what medium did the artist use/how these slide images could possibly effect their own
artwork, etc. and then kept the audience thinking along these lines throughout the day. The
audience established a good rapport and connection with Melanie and immediately were able to
recognize her extensive and versatile background in art, which left them motivated for their
current and future projects at the conclusion of the day. The artists in attendance were given the
opportunity (through slides) to view other artists work whose background in art, as well as
ethnically, may have been different from theirs. Her critique session was thorough, giving each
artist present, satisfactory answers to the questions directed at her.

easy for him to communicate. The audience really seemed to enjoy his presentation and felt
relaxed enough to ask questions and make comments – very worthwhile. “I’m so glad I came”
was heard many times.
Don did a marvelous job! This was a very good and varied show and very difficult to judge and
he did a great job. His comments to all exhibitors were kind, direct and helpful.

fundamentals of perspective and proportion. Participants were able to draw along with Dr. Clark.
He presented a step-by-step drawing of a human face to demonstrate proportion.
As a juror, Dr. Clark was also excellent! He encouraged audience participation and allowed each
artist to present background on their work. Dr. Clark also encouraged the artists not to be afraid
to try new techniques in their art.

5511 Lake Mendota Dr.

Topic: Abstract Art. He showed slides of his own work and also of well-known abstract artists-
very good presentation. We heard good comments from those present.
He took a great deal of time making his selections. He made several visits to the exhibit to
evaluate his choices. We appreciated this. Some shows are viewed one time by the juror and
selections made in about 20-30 minutes (not enough time!)
Elkhorn – April 15, 2000
Danny McGuire (artists & juror)
3991 Old Steve Rd.
Oregon, WI 53575
Topic: UW Whitewater Student Work & His Own Sculpture. He showed slides of both. He
talked about processes, where ideas come from in his work and student work. For critique, he
did something special. Each participant had to choose their five favorite pieces in show and
write a one or two word comment about why they chose it. Then the top five works with the
most responses where viewed and he talked about what words were the most common for each
picture. This was to help us understand why people look at your work and what they see. He
talked about how we can improve our work by knowing this. It will teach us to know how to
capture the viewer and how to keep them looking.
Subject of framing came up and he discussed how a frame can take a really excellent picture and
draw the viewer out of picture. Participants were very receptive and learned a lot. Many were
concerned about him being a 3-D person and not a 2-D person. But he showed us how whether
it’s 2-D or 3-D, all the same principals apply of composition and design. He spoke a lot about
how to communicate what we are saying-whether it’s a mood, emotion, or an actual conceptual
story and idea.
Fennimore – April 15, 2000
Audrey Christie (artist & juror)
3570 Rowe Rd.

Wautoma – May 20, 2000
Diane Franke (Artist)
W4910 Co. Rd. E
Berline, WI 54923
Topic: Wet-on-Wet oil painting. Comments (from three different members): Demonstration was
adequate and artist “knew her stuff” but was not too attention grabbing.
The demonstration was excellent. It was encouraging and very cordial. She even had materials to
work along which I wish I had taken advantage of.
Demonstration was not the best in my opinion.
Susan Hunting(Juror)
479 Oak Apt. 6
Berlin, WI 54923
Comments: Judge chose a range of “normal”paintings that is nothing weird. Only thing she
didn’t comment too much on was why she chose them mostly- “I liked it” or “I really liked it.”
However, the moderator asked her to comment on every painting which I considered very
valuable considering her (the judge’s) credentials.
This was the judge’s first experience but she was eager and excited about the show. It was well-
accepted.
Judge could have been more helpful.
The judge will be better when she has more experience.
The show encompassed a wide range of artwork talent. Many quality entry works.
Waukesha – May 20, 2000
Valerie Christell (Artist & Juror)
3115 S. Superior St.
Milwaukee, WI 53207
Topic: Watercolor Crayon Demonstration
Comments: Very knowledgeable artist, has worked in many different mediums. Demonstrated
different effects of watercolor crayon over three different drawing mediums in an abstract style.
Think majority of participants found it interesting and may be tempted to try it out. Especially
for its easy portability or maybe for the fact that it is very non-toxic.
Valerie did a very thoughtful critique and expressed prior to the show that she did not want to
hurt anyone’s feelings. She had a difficult decision with 95 pieces of artwork in eight different
mediums. She had to do last minute changes on the day of the show as someone pointed out two
artists that had dated artwork which disqualified their work. (Misunderstanding of rules.)
Someone had personally explained rules/never got printout.
Eagle River – June 10, 2000
Eleanor Lapp (Artist)
2355 South Shore Road
Land O’ Lakes, WI 54540
Topic : Fiber art-“painting” with wool and other fibers.
Eleanor is an extremely satisfying and inspiring presenter. Using her experience as a teacher and
writer, she assembles an excellent visual presentation, well organized, and easy to follow. Her
art is exceptional, I think, using wool yarn and rug hooking materials as her medium. Her
original designs and increasingly complex artistic structure give workshop participants a new
view of art. She is also a delight to work with.
Louise Englebrecht (Juror)
1730 Cty Rd. A
Phelps, WI 54554
Louise is an excellent juror. With precision and organization, she presented to workshop
participants her criteria for award presentations. She also gave each artist positive direction as

makes her an ideal juror for this type of show.

step-by-step how to paint a portrait using watercolors. She discussed use of color, brush stroke
and types of paper. After the demo she presented a critique of the painting and encouraged class
participation. Debie’s down-to-earth style immediately put the audience at ease. By the end of
the session everyone was crowded around the artist sharing their ideas and painting techniques.
Excellent presenter!!

4310 Drexel Avenue

Topic: Slide presentation of her artwork/grad school through present. Demonstration: How to oil
glaze. This was a lively presentation and demonstration. The audience was very appreciative of
the demonstration, as many of the participants are not able to take classes in art, in order to keep
up on techniques and the motivation that is needed in this field.
Ms. Fasse was very generous in her critiquing, in the fact that there were 88 pieces of artwork
and this took a great deal of time to evaluate each one of them. This is what the participants
wanted to do and she was more than happy to oblige since this is their workshop. Everyone was
pleased with the day as a whole.

Rhinelander, WI 54501
Katie gave a very comprehensive slide show on using the computer to make artwork. She showed
some of her work, which is slightly abstract but beautiful. The show was interesting to all the
artists and may have inspired some of them to try to use the computer themselves.
Louise Englebrecht (juror)
1730 County Highway A
Phelps, WI 54554
Louise gave a critique of the artists' work that was funny, instructive and positive. If she was
unfamiliar with a medium, she would admit it, rather than just ignore the piece. A very good
judge and a nice person.

Madison, WI 53714-0413
Slide presentation of a show of handmade "brooms." and discussion group: "Creativity As A
Healing Tool". Our lighting was not good for the slides but Rae's history and storytelling about
the presentation made up for that. The discussion group could have gone on much longer.
Everyone really participated in that.
Rae is very personal and caring. Even included comments on the frames and how they interact
with the artwork as a whole unit.

Elkhorn - May 2, 1998
Charlie Olson (artist & juror)
404 Grant Street
Ft. Atkinson, WI 53538
As an artist, Charlie works in an abstract world, even though some of his ceramic forms are
things like teapots. In order for painters to relate to his 3-D work, he stated he paints on the clay.
His work reveals his love of the medium and the colors and textures he can achieve with glaze.
His work also shows us he is not interested in necessarily telling a story but in keeping things
abstract enough so the viewer can create his own story.
As a critique, he took a little different approach in that he looked at what was best in the work.
While critiquing, we didn't hear about ways to improve the work. But he focussed on what was
strong about it. Many times he would point out his fascination with the abstract qualities of
areas, even within a realistic piece. He was strong in pointing out how composition was
important. He also would ask the artist which piece they liked the best and why, which was good
to get the artist talking about their work. Overall, he was inspiring and very well received.

Debbie Ketchum (artist)
3720 Craffney Drive
Eagle River, WI 54521
Topic: Papermaking. The demonstration was a big success. Debbie started hr demo with a
slide presentation, showing us all of the varied applications of papermaking. I believe this was
a new art form to most of our audience as their reaction was one of amazement. She then went
on to show us how to begin making paper of our own at home with items we had at home or
were readily available. After showing us the basic technique she showed us some other fun and
extremely varied ideas. She also passed out a bibliography and suppliers list along with an
outline on procedure.
I now that everyone left the demo wanting to get their hands wet (so to speak) and many of the
participants signed up for her classes or spoke to her about doing workshops for their art
leagues. I would certainly recommend her for future workshops and demonstrations.
Jack Kroehnke (juror)
5534 Broman Lane
Phelps, WI 54554
He is an experienced and professional artist himself. The participants were a little surprised by
what he had to say, which was basically he chose the pieces he did because he liked them. He
did not break them down into color and composition and the like, but just his emotional
response to the pieces. We also had a group discussion on the merits of all the pieces in the
show and encouraged all of the artists to keep up the good work. I personally was pleased with
the honesty of him and thought the day went very well.

Ms. Westfall is involved in a very different type of art, especially for those in this community.

grasp this point. Ecological or environmental art is a fast rising art form and our audience was
able to see the need for this type of art to be addressed.
The audience was pleased with the fact that Ms. Westfall took the time to critique those pieces
of art, whose artists were here. This is the largest show for the MAAC. The pieces this year

Art Element in his year of doing all. He was very well liked. The subject opened many eyes to
abstract art. We were very happy to have him.
Wausau, (Oct 12, 1991)
Diane Canfield Bywaters (artist/juror)
Asst Prof of Art
UW-Stevens Point
Stevens Pt. WI 54481
Her slide presentation of her recent works was excellent. Each piece of her work was talked
about with a great deal of humor. At the critique, Diane gave each of the artists work a very
helpful criticism on what was done. Also she gave private critiques to those who wanted to
know more. She has an excellent way about her. I would recommend her highly.
Diane seemed to relate to the beginner as well as to the more advanced artist. Some of the
winners are late bloomers with their artwork and I was very excited when their work was
selected, either for a state or honorable mention. Diane had been a judge in an art exhibit in
Wausau a few years ago and I had liked the way she went through the gallery speaking with all
of the artists in the group. She has a very impressive resume of her work throughout the past
ten years has a MFA among other titles.
Chippewa Falls (October 19, 1991)
Brent Talledge (artist and juror)
Chippewa Frame & Art Gallery

Brent gave equal attention to each piece that was exhibited. He was clear and concise in this
discussion of strengths and areas of possible improvement. He was supportive, yet honest.

Toni Polfus (artist/juror)
7808 Hasbrook Drive
Lake Tomahawk, WI 54539
Slide Presentation: "Abstraction Isn't As Bad As You Think"
She did an excellent job, beginning with historical background, leading up to modern. She
pointed out abstract qualities in all paintings including background information on why artists
did what they did -- which made it clearer to us what a very abstract piece stood for and to see
abstractions in all paintings.
I received several good comments on her judging which was also well done for the most part
(weak point - photography) she judged three entries together that the artist entered and that was
well accepted. We also did State Exhibit winners first, then Honorable Mention winners
followed by individuals that wished to be critiqued.
Appleton (October 5, 1991)
Phil Sealy (artist)
614 East Franklin St.

Appleton, WI 54915 Appleton, WI 54911
Although the number of artists participating was down from two years ago, the quality of the
exhibit had greatly improved. In the future I hope we can bring in an even larger number of
artists and art appreciators.
Fennimore (April 20, 1991)
Richard Sloan (artist & juror)
Route 2, Box 2138
Soldier Grove, WI 54655
Topic: Wildlife with Acrylics. His work is fantastic! He showed 12 slides then demonstrated
using acrylics - values, composition. Richard's work has been in as Art Mag, Wildlife, etc. He
does animals of the rain forest. Presently doing a book of Birds of Prey of Arizona. He has
designed numerous stamps, etc.
He was very kind but also objective. His comments were very constructive and not egotistical
in "this is what I might do to lighten this space but you could brighten it here and possibly
achieve the same results." Remember, this is only my opinion and someone else may see it
differently.

accepted. Then Burmeister showed slides and evaluated them. Many people stated that it was a
very good workshop.
Jeanne Eberlein-Burmeister (juror)
Edgewater Street

Her critique was outstanding - very animated, complete, supportive and fair. The audience
seemed absorbed in every word and were very attentive. I recommend her very highly as a
judge.
Fond du Lac (Sept. 29, 1990)
William Perry Griffiths (artist & juror)
67 N. Lincoln Ave.
Fond du Lac, WI 54935
"Contemporary Art: The Reality of Abstract" Slide/Lecture. Mr. Griffiths presented a well-
organized and interesting slide lecture on the topic of contemporary art. I would highly
recommend Mr. Griffiths to conduct future programs. Mr. Griffiths has an exuberant lecture
style which captivated the audience.
Mr. Griffiths, Associate Professor of Art, University of Wisconsin, Fond du Lac Center, did an
excellent job of judging the exhibit. His critique of the works in the show was outstanding. He
also spent a good deal of time after the workshop evaluating the workshop evaluating the works
of those who did not receive any awards.
Green Bay (Oct. 20, 1990)
Isabel Beaudoin (artist & juror)
1219 S. Webster Avenue
Green Bay, WI 54301
"Technique of Colligraph". Excellent. Isabel has been an artist all of her life. Her worldwide
travels which often are reflected in her work, made her commentary fascinating as she
highlighted demonstration with personal anecdotes. This combination proved spellbinding for
the audience. As art instructor in the Green Bay school system, she has devoted much of her
lifetime to encouraging and helping young talents toward artistic creativity and a more profound
understanding of art.
Excellent. Eminently qualified as Isabel's art experience has run the spectrum of mediums
including woodworking, printmaking, metal, fabric, pastel, oil and watercolor to mention a few.
She selected and critiqued 14 pieces for the State Exhibit awards and 13 for the Honorable
Mention awards; then responded incisively to questions from all participants.

Frances Whitefield (artist)

"Baskets of Natural Materials" -- It was her first demo to the public and she was very worried
but she did an excellent job. She knows her stuff and had a lot of baskets to show and books
she learned from, being self-taught. She rates a "ten"!!
Matt Jacobson (juror)
5350 Hixon Lake Road
Rhinelander, WI 54501
His critiquing went well but he didn't follow instructions on awarding only one award to an
artist which caused us some confusion and delay. I had given him the information from you and
talked to him several times to ask if he had any questions.
1988-89
Green Bay
Sheriee Dardis (artist)
1163 Lombardi Ave.
Green Bay, WI 54304
Topic: Framing As An Extension of Artwork
Comments: Excellent! I have never attended a demo with so much audience participation and
fascinated attention. She is an exciting and creative expert who disperses technical wisdom in a
most charming manner. I, personally, want to hear it again!!!!
Elton L. Scheunemann (juror)
405 E. Park St.
Route 2, Box 328A
Bonduel, WI 54107
Comments: Again, I must write most enthusiastically excellent!!! His selection for awards
could not have been more objective or more fair. Although he works as a commercial artist for
Fort Howard Paper Company here as his means of livelihood, he also teaches at the technical
school in Green Bay on occasion. I felt that the teaching experience was certainly reflected in
his very gentle but incisive critiques.
Woodruff
Dan Clausen (artist)

Comments: A good demo for fundamentalists and basic principles. Good use of illustrative

disciplines with specific limitations. The end result was good!

Laurie Bieze (artist)

him again.

(Drawing With Charcoal) - Both did an excellent job. They were local and able to view the
exhibit several times. Also they met on Friday night to pick winners which made Saturday run
very smoothly. Much better than last year. They really gave it "their all". Bob gave a good
demo -- good speaker and a touch of humor. They did the critique together expressing their
viewpoints fairly. Most everyone was happy with them. There does still seem to be a problem
with "classroom work" - even if it is not a copy of the teacher's but seems to "pick up" the
teacher's style. I don't know if we would discourage a lot of beginners by not allowing any class
work at all. What do you think? Everyone was quite impressed with how well prepared they
were. They judged all artists' paintings together, that is, if three were entered, the three were
critiqued together with reasons why a State Award or Honorable Mention Award was given to
the particular piece.
Menomonie (March 10)

excellent use of the media.

Well liked by all - took time to explain how she judged - critique was very good - HM's
explained first which we felt made them feel good - State Exhibit next and then any others -
comments: consistent, good reasons for choosing a piece - one of our best critiques.

Presented slide presentation of her realist painting.
Response to my questions to participants were very favorable. Her work is excellent, hit a
responsive chord with everyone. She relates very well to her audience -- would recommend her
to any group.
Her critiques were all individualized and to the point. Good and bad -- again she seemed to
make us all feel she had a personal interest in each piece of work. Definitive comments helpful
to all.
Wausau
Dan Fabiano (artist)
UW-St. Pt.
Stevens Pt., WI
He was interesting but pretty self-centered as the critiquing was being done. Both judges took
over two hours to judge the work. He did not follow the guidelines so some artists received two
State Awards, so that has to be changed.

"Progression of Painter in 17 years - Watercolor to Oils" - starting with landscape with birds to
birds to human figures -- absolutely fantastic!! I feel you should suggest him for other shows.
His workshop was fun and informative. As a self-taught artist, he joked about the mistakes he
made and how he learned to correct them.
Everyone was so excited about his comments. He gave strokes and really explained what could
be done to make it better or more interesting. It was so informative! One comment from an
exhibitor was "I've been coming to these shows for ten years and I learned more today by his
critiques than all the other years combined!"

Most felt they worked well together. Gave very thorough critiques, sometimes too long -- were
interesting -- gave positives and negatives although some were not sure if it was advantageous
that they remembered artists from the Wausau show which we didn't know that they had judged
also. Most everyone voted to recommend them for judging elsewhere -- a few did not agree
with their selections.

Oshkosh, WI 5490l
Ms. Kindt gave a wonderful slide presentation. Her painting is of impressionistic style. The
people attending responded well and it was enjoyed by all. We had no entries of this type so it
was very interesting to be exposed to a different style of painting. I would highly recommend
her for a demonstrating artist.
Luke Balistreri (juror)
Oshkosh, WI 5490l
Mr. Balistreri was very friendly and outgoing. He didn't spend a lot of time on the critiques. He
seemed concerned with his time spent rather than with quality of evaluations. His critiques on
State Exhibit and Honorable Mention winners were quite good and interesting.
