Crawford states, “I’d like to thank Karen Marumoto and the Shiawassee Arts Center for inviting me to participate as a juror and select the award winners for the 22nd Annual Shiawassee Arts Center Member Artists Show. Having never been to SAC I was blown away by the surroundings, the architecture of the center and the beautifully designed contemporary gallery. The permanent collection is outstanding. I came away with a great understanding of the history of the building, artists and town. For me, everyone in this outstanding exhibition is a winner for having the passion and dedication to create art. I was so impressed by the multitude and diversity of subject matter and mediums from paintings, drawings, textiles, ceramics, sculpture and jewelry. It was a difficult but exciting process to choose the winners from 90 works of art on display. I based my selection on creativity, techniques, craftsmanship and the artist’s conceptual approaches to the mediums used in creating their work.”
