About the Jurors...
Richard Fielden - Sculpture was the first art I noticed and the first art I tried to do. After nearly 30 years doing commercial art, design and illustration, I have given myself over to sculpture. Now, years later, I have been a teacher, artist and sculptor full-time with many public commissions to my credit. Have done large public commissions: Enron baseball (bronze) Colombe d'or bird (concrete and gold leaf) Herman Hospital (life gift) Texas Children's Hospital (tree of life). Have sold many small bronzes to collections around the U.S. and in Europe.Alida Harville - I've had a passion for sculpture since the first day I sculpted my first mud design. This is my 12th year of teaching art and I love every minute of it! It absolutely floors me what a young person can do when they try their very best and pull out abilities they never knew they had.
Bridgette Mongeon - a writer and sculptor who is known for her portraits of such entertainers as BB King, Bill Monroe and Willie Nelson as well as her numerous portraits of pets and children. Her newest commission is a life-size newsboy created in bronze, which will be placed in the State Capitol building in Austin, Texas. She works and teaches from her Heights Studio. www.creativesculpture.com

R. Michael Stovall - Graduate SWT with a BS in Commercial Art and ABS in all level Art Education. 23 years in public education teaching art in Bellville High School. Sculpture and Pottery are both large parts of my curriculum, as I love to work in clay. I have attended several sculpture workshops and cast a bronze called "I Have A Son".
