This year's juror is Nicole M. Santiago. She holds a BFA in studio art from Indiana University and an MFA in painting from the University of New Hampshire. She is a Professor of Art at the College of William and Mary, where she teaches life drawing, drawing, color theory, and 2D design.
Santiago's works consist of semi-autobiographical paintings, drawings, and prints portraying mundane domestic scenes. However, she hints at a more expansive narrative, thinly veiled by the everyday detritus that clutters her painted spaces.
During her career, Santiago has exhibited widely, showing in nearly 140 exhibitions. Her works have been reproduced in many art publications, including The Artist's Magazine, Art New England, INPA (International Painting Annual), and Fine Art Connoisseur. She is the recipient of full-fellowship residencies at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, VT, and the Ballinglen Artist Foundation in Ballycastle, Ireland. Most recently, Santiago was awarded first prize at the Bethesda Painting Awards in Bethesda, MD.
Santiago will attend the exhibition's opening reception on Saturday, October 28, to give remarks and select prize winners
