I created a strong woman struggling with vulnerability. O’Keefe said it best ... ”It’s not enough to be nice in life. You’ve got to have nerve.”

6th Place IAA Awards in Acrylic

Sophie Parkhill

Artist locale: Kinmel Bay, Wales, UK

Gold leaf mimics the heat shimmers of the savanna, whilst the image as a whole demonstrates the monochromatic illusions as a survival behaviour.

7th Place IAA Awards in Acrylic

Rita Thorp

Artist locale: Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Title of work: If I Could Tell You

Inspired by secrets I keep and poems I read.

8th Place IAA Awards in Acrylic

Philippe Giroux

Artist locale: Matane, Quebec, Canada
Title of work: This Enchanted Stream

I have frequented these streams in my area so much. There is in these places mystery, magic, life. I call that micro-landscapes, very small stream sectors. It is a great pleasure to put the beauty of this nature on canvas. And between you and me, it's also the memory of some beautiful little trout caught right there!
