Announcing the 2026 Spring Member Show Juror
Judith Perry
We are delighted to share that our juror for this show is renowned oil and watercolor artist and teacher, Judith Perry.
Judith is an award winning artist and a signature member of the Hawaii Watercolor Society and president of the Women Painters of Washington.
She prefers painting in a series of the same subject matter so there can be an in depth presentation. It is a method of pulling the viewer in for a deeper understanding.
After living many places from the east coast to Hawaii she is now living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
THE ART OF INTENTION
“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” ~ Vincent Van Gogh
Our Spring Members’ Show celebrates the unique delights of “Small Works” – art that invites the viewer to pause, step closer, and linger to engage with the intimate details. These pieces prove that artistic impact can come not only from scale, but from the detailed mastery of composition, color and intent.
Curated by esteemed artist Judith Perry, the show represents a collection that showcases technical excellence, creative risk-taking, and the diverse perspectives of our member community. From the vibrant to the subtle, each piece has been chosen for its ability to resonate with the viewer and provide a lasting impact.
We hope these works inspire you to look a little closer at the world around you. This exhibition is a testament to the talent within the Peninsular Art League.
