William Ishmael, native of Kentucky and resident of California, is the juror for the 2020 Cedars Juried Art Show. Ishmael has been an artist for the last 30 years, beginning with watercolor landscapes and progressing to large abstract works and art installations utilizing latex paint, sand, organic materials, and the natural elements of the weather to achieve the weathered, multi-layered effects on many of his works. His work has been featured in many galleries in the Pacific Northwest including the Morris Graves Museum of Art (“Wholeness and Fragmentation” September 2018). He has been a juror for several exhibits in California. From 2017 – 2019, he was Chair of the Art in Public Places Committee for the Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission.

About The Cedars
The Cedars is Jackson’s oldest standing residential structure. It was saved from destruction and restored by the Fondren Renaissance Foundation and a host of individuals and corporations in 2003. Originally, it was part of the Garland Plantation and built in 1840. Today, the Foundation maintains ownership of the property and its grounds complete with majestic cedars for which it was named. While know by the community as the site of picturesque weddings and receptions, The Cedars is best known for its visual and performing series: its art gallery shows and Symphony at Sunset – both widely praised cultural community events open and free to the public.
