About the Judges:

Susan Squires received her BFA in fine art from the Cleveland Institute of Art. Squires travels extensively and these travels have inspired her work as an encaustic/mixed media artist. She describes her work as “quiet meditations” with psychological and spiritual implications.” Squires is currently represented by 1point618 gallery in Cleveland and has shown both here and internationally.

Corrie Slawson has exhibited both in the US and internationally. Her exhibition venues include the Toledo Museum of Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Cleveland. Slawson describes her work as “printed versions of pictures taken with drawn, painted, and cut out or collaged forms. My works fantasize alternative realities for places that were once considered magnificent but are now deserted or under appreciated.” Locally, Slawson is represented by SHAHEEN Modern and Contemporary in Cleveland.
