Featured Artist of this year's show is Jessie Camerer. "My name is Jessie Camerer, originally from Scotland. I started painting with oils but became allergic to the fumes, so six years ago I tried watercolor and became fascinated with the way the paint acted on the paper. I have take classes from Judy Whitney, Marlene Ahman, Paulie Rollins, Phyllis Garre and Carol Boudreau, learning new techniques from each teacher. I like variety so I have painted everything from flowers and animals to landscapes and seascapes with some semi-abstracts thrown in. Watercolor is challenging medium but hopefully you will enjoy the finished pieces as much as I did while creating them."

Our judge this year was Paulie Robbins:
