Cape Ann artist Wins Magnolia Art Show with Photography
Katherine Richmond, one of four artists exclusively featured at Zinc Gallery in Rocky Neck, recently won the grand prize of “Best in Show”. In addition, she received “Peoples choice award for Best in Show and Best in Photography” for her photograph ‘Hokusai’ pictured above.
This is the only time a photograph has won over an oil painting, watercolor, mixed media, sculpture, and pastels in the 38-year history of the Magnolia Art Show held last week. “It’s a welcoming sign for Gloucester to award a fine art photograph, which has held to more traditional views of art for many years, to other talented local photographers,” said Richmond.
Richmond’s work also hangs at the prestigious 21st Members Juried Show at The Griffin Museum in Winchester now through August 30th.
