About the Juror:
Amie Oliver: "Primary to my aesthetic is an experimentation with media. The power of symbols, objects and a vocabulary of human form are the language of this dialogue. Timeless imagery and modern iconography motivate me to create art that embraces conflict, revision, passion, reason, beauty and discovery. These interests are synthesized in a body of work that exists as fragments of a culture... symbols, language, the book - as artifacts. A patina of time becomes evident in much of my work, by the use of recycled classical forms and distressed materials.

by Elizabeth D. Schafer
Jazz by Elizabeth SchaferElizabeth Schafer comes to us from St. Louis MS and will exhibit art about music and sound. Her inspiration is "music with soul" which includes classical, jazz, the blues, bluegrass, funk and rock.
Schafer has been a professional artist over 17 years and is represented by many prestegious galleries in the south and mid-west. She has exhibited most notably in the Smithsonian Museum, the William Jefferson Clinton Presidential Library, Minnetonka Center for the Arts, Ohr-O'Keefe Museum of Art, and the Meridian Museum of Art.
The artworks featured in the show reflect studies of jazz music through several series: Improvisation series, Jazz Fusion Series, and Jazz Series. Each series takes a different visual approach to the music. These works are created as a visual and immediate response to music. The melody, harmony, tempo, rhythm, genre of music, and instruments are all considered within the moment of making the mark and creating the painting.
