AFC Best of Show Award Winner Environmental Statement Medal of Excellence	Lynn Branson "I take great pride that art is created from my love affair with wood. The wild forces of nature produce my material. I have learned not to judge a piece of wood by its exterior appearance, for beneath the surface I can take it anywhere I want just by using my imagination. What I try to achieve with my sculptures is to touch the innermost of human emotions. I am most respectful and caring towards our environment." More about this artwork

Medal of Excellence Best Interpretive / Abstract	- Rosetta My style has been described as hard-edged yet soft, sensitive yet powerful. I think this is possible because of the position I have chosen along the scale between abstraction and realism. The essense and spirit of the aninmal is captured in the forms, but it is the abstraction of those forms which creates the art. More about this artwork
