Juror
We are very excited to have Sabrina Stiles, a pastel artist with an expressive style that lends itself to her chosen medium. Primarily a landscape artist, she draws inspiration from her travels as well as the beautiful landscape near her home in Colorado. Her keen observation and reverence for the beauty that surrounds her is evident in her work. She has studied with many nationally recognized artists and has won awards in local, regional and national competition. Her work is in private collections throughout the country.
