Dana Harris Seeger - Juror statement

"The heart. The source of our life and love. Where would we be without it? This competition is a way to share your heart- your life, your love, your passion with your fellow human beings. Art is a way to visually communicate our feelings and ideas with the world in a universal way- a deep way that goes beyond words. This is your chance to pour your heart out onto a page, into clay, on canvas. Think about what makes you happy, what makes you feel loved, what breaks your heart, what mends it. Go beyond the symbol or the literal image and show us your art for heart."Click here to sign up
