Juror: Neil Jussila, comment by, “Laura Anderson’s large moody portrait caused me to first look at a sad mouth, but then . . . the eye gesture and the thickened neck gave pause to reflect on one whose life has been difficult.  This painting reflects a true reality of the way things sometimes are.  Don’t just look at the work.  Try to experience it from something that you’ve experienced.”
