Jurors
Shannon Abbey
Master Artist, Sonoma
I am an environmental woman artist inspired by the landscape and wildlife of Sonoma and Marin counties, particularly the wetlands along the Petaluma river and San Pablo Bay. My work is about this place, the natural world of the North Bay, combing representation with abstraction. After working as an illustrator since the early 1990’s, I am now painting full time and my paintings are part of collections across the United States, the UK, and New Zealand.
I live and paint in Petaluma California with cartoonist husband, Pete McDonnell, our son Jacob and studio dog Mollie.
Primarily I paint in acrylic on wood panels in the studio, ot on location around Sonoma and Marin Counties.
Sarah Barsness
Photography Professor Solano Community College, Fairfield
Sarah Barsness was born and raised in the American West. She calls many places home, including Montana, where she was born, Idaho, where she lived through puberty, Seattle, where she finally grew up, and San Francisco, where she became herself. In recent years, she shocked herself by becoming an avid “birder,” and birds are currently her primary subject. She now lives, teaches, birds, and makes art in Solano County. She is a very fortunate person who has spent her life traveling, teaching, learning, and making art - all with a roof over her head, plenty of food, and the support of loving friends and family.
Fan Lee Warren
Art Professor Laney Community College, Oakland
Fan Lee Warren lives, works, and teaches drawing, painting, and art history at Laney Community College in Oakland, CA. Born in Birmingham, AL, and raised in Chicago.
Her work depicts a mixture of popular and historical perceptions of black people in the Americas. She arranges her figures within layered fragments of memories and events surrounded by the transformative ancient spiral on the stressed paper.
