Fins, Feathers & Fur

J. Mane Gallery is pleased to present its Fins Feathers and Fur International Online Juried Art Exhibition. 

Animals have been a source of inspiration for many artists. From art about rural life and growth to myths and legends, animals are used in art in many different ways. Art can help us explore our relationship to wildlife and can help us think about how we care for animals and the environment.

We invited artists to submit work that best represents animals, wildlife, sea life, and pets.  All artists over the age of 18, regardless of location or experience, were encouraged to submit their best art and photography. We had over 140 entries from the United States, Cuba, Australia, and Saskatoon.

Each of our themed exhibitions, awards for First, Second and Third Place.  The First Place winner for the Fins, Feathers & Fur show is James Russell May for his oil and polymer emulsion on wood, Elephant. James’ excellent command of the medium, composition and unique interpretation of the theme is what set his work apart. James is also the Featured Artist for the next four weeks.

Taking Second Place is Angee Ferrin for her acrylic on canvas, Marine World.   And, Third Place goes to Minnie Lucas for her photograph, Curiosity Sisters.

Honorable Mention awards go to Deana Bada Maloney for her stoneware and found objects sculpture, Aslan, Nancy Bruce for her mixed media piece, Would You Look At That, Morrigan Crotty for her ink painting, Marlowe, Vega Davis for her watercolor, Horse, Ali Graves for her India ink painting, Osprey, Shelley Hudson for Tall, Dan Knighton for his acrylic on canvas, Cluck Off, Katherine Lechler for her acrylic painting, Baby Swans, Debra Marvin for her colored pencil, African Painted Dog IV, Melissa Milton for her digital art, Oh Carp, Gaylord Mink for his digital art, Four Point, Deepti Mohile for her graphite, A Short Layover, Sarah Van Rose for her watercolor, Storm Horse 2, Sadie Roy for her photograph, Gazing, Kristopher Schoenleber, for his photograph Spotted, JJ Snow for her digital photograph, Kinetic, Vasu Tolia for her painting, Frolicking Friends, and Oz Van Rosen for her digital art, 241.
