Curry Art’s member Pat Renner, has been juried into the Western Federation of Watercolor Societies (WFWS) 45th annual exhibition to be held in Boise, Idaho at the Idaho State Museum. The exhibit will run from June 5–July 26, 2020.

The painting entitled, “Awash with Flowers” is one of 100 paintings selected for this year’s “Watercolors Rock the Gem State” WFWS exhibition.  World renowned artist, author and Juror Stephen Quiller chose this painting from among 945 entries from the 10 watercolor societies that make up WFWS.

Having been juried into three exhibitions, Renner will be awarded signature membership at the annual opening.

The WFWS, founded in 1974, is a consortium of ten regional associations of watercolorists from Idaho Oregon, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Texas.  Its mission is to showcase works on paper created with a variety of water-based media, to encourage and recognize artistic excellence through competitions and to encourage the visibility of watercolor as an artistic medium through these annual exhibitions.  Members of the regional member societies are members of WFWS, at present numbering over 5,000 artists.

Congratulations Pat!

An artist and illustrator with a degree in zoology, Julie Puz Wilson combines her love for both art and science by creating imagery that most often depicts nature, wildlife, and “small ecological moments.” Although she has dabbled in all sorts of traditional art media, Julie has been focused on digital art and photo illustration for the last several years and has created hundreds of custom portraits and paintings for clients around the globe. She has shown and sold her traditional and digital artwork in small galleries in California and Oregon and has created pieces ranging in size from tiny locket miniatures to airplane nose art. Julie has led a nomadic life but currently resides in Gold Beach with her husband, three rescue dogs, and one ornery cat.

The art of Julie Puz Wilson will be on display September-November in the 2nd floor gallery of the library.
