A MAJOR SHOW OF MINIATURE PROPORTIONS
Parklane Gallery welcomes artists
from across the country and around the world to our
20th Annual International Juried Miniature Show
May 8 through June 3, 2012
Miniatures in this year's show may be viewed
and/or purchased online by clicking here
Guidelines set by the
Association of Miniature Artists:
- Minute in scale vs. life sized. For practicality following the general 1/6th scale for work sent to formal miniature exhibitions and shows.
- Delicate and painstaking technique that withstands magnification.
- Small in format and size: 25 inches or less for surface area. Sculpture should fit inside an eight inch cube including the base.
- High in quality. The work should exemplify Fine Art ~ demonstrating a mastery of composition, color, values etc.
This year's juror, Donna Leavitt is a northwest artist who has exhibited in galleries world-wide. She is a member of Women Painters of Washington (WPW) and has Signature Status in the Colored Pencil Society of America (CPSA).
In her own words:
"Making art is having a contract with an idea....Drawing, to me, is a meditative state where I enter a world of calm reflection and interpretation. Sometimes (often) the result is a surprise! My approach is to take a non- traditional look by bringing the viewer's focus up close to examine shadows and textures for an intimate visual experience.”
