The juror for the 2018 Juried Fine Arts Exhibition will be Naples, Florida artist Phil Fisher (www.philfisherfineart.com/).  He has pursued his interest in art and nature since childhood.  After trying other more financially secure avenues, he sacrificed what was needed to be an artist and has never looked back.  He portrays visual interpretations of familiar landscapes with life happenings. The viewers are coaxed into the environment with exciting colors and dramatic light that travels through each painting leaving them with an emotion that is specific to each individual work.  He studied formally at the University of Toledo, Ohio, The Toledo Museum of Art, The Ringling School of Art and the Instituto D'Allende in San Miguel, Mexico.
