Judge's Statement

I am honored and pleased to be asked to judge the Experimental Artists of America 2008 Online Exhibition.

My Criteria for Judging;

First is Initial impression or instant reaction (something I haven’t seen before).

Expertise of the medium
Good Design, composition with Contrast

BE PROUD OF YOUR WORK, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND BY ALL MEANS, KEEP PAINTING!
