FAA issues call for entries for Open Juried Show

FALLBROOK – Fallbrook Art Association announces its upcoming annual Open Juried Show April 3 through April 26, in Fallbrook Art Center (FAC) at 103 S. Main Ave. Open every day 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the gala reception and awards ceremony will be held April 4 from 6 to 8 p.m.

The juror for this show is watercolor artist Shuang Li. Born and raised in China, Li first received her bachelor’s degree in graphic design and master’s degree in art history. She taught at the Academy of Arts and Design at Tsinghua University in Beijing, China, before moving to the United States. She then received her master of fine art degree from the University of Oregon in 1991.

Though trained as a graphic designer, Li’s watercolor landscapes are in rich colors with poetic atmosphere, showing strong influences from both traditional Impressionism and late 19th century American artists such as John Singer Sargent and Winslow Homer.

A signature member of San Diego Watercolor Society, member of National Watercolor Society and American Watercolor Society, Li travels globally each year to seek new inspiration for her watercolor paintings. Her artworks regularly win awards in national and international group shows.

Generous cash awards will be given for Best of Show; the Thordarson choice; first, second and third places; plus one for each of the following art elements: composition, color, narrative, line/edges, texture, and shape/form.

Entries must be taken to FAC March 30, between 10 a.m. and

3 p.m. For more information, see the Call for Entries at http://www.fallbrookartassn.org.
