“This is what I see every time I hit the ‘47 miles to Tucson’ mile marker on the way home from Phoenix. I love the shape at the top of Picacho Peak, I think everyone in Southern Arizona recognizes ‘the peak’. During the afternoon, you can really see some terrific dark rich shadows on the side of the mountain that add a bit of mystery to this intriguing desert landscape.” --Christy Olsen
Juried Exhibition & Art Sale

The 75 finalists for each regular contest genre exhibit their work in the beautiful Richeson Gallery, which appears in a hardcover book for that annual competition genre.
