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.

Bridgette Mongeon has worked in the creative industry for over 20 years. She is a painter (watercolor) but is known for her sculptures of entertainers such as BB King, Willie Nelson, and Bin Monroe, as well as her numerous commissions of children. Recent commissions include Nolan Ryan's grandson and negotiating a Houston Music Hall of Fame. She has been featured both nationally and internationally for her work. Bridgette enjoys encouraging others to achieve their artistic goals and does so through her workshops, lectures and articles that she has written. She has been a contributing writer with several books and is presently working on her first solo book about creating posthumous sculpture entitled, Bringing to Life the Spirit of the deceased - A Sculptors Journey. www.creativesculpture.com
