Endangered Species, by Lynn Mann-Hallmark

Endangered Species, by Lynn Mann-Hallmark

My work is a celebration of emotion—raw, radiant, and unapologetically alive. Through vivid color and bold brushwork, I explore the intimate connection between nature, women, and animals, weaving them into visual narratives that speak to the soul. Each painting is a dialogue between feeling and form, where the wildness of the natural world meets the quiet strength of feminine energy.

I am drawn to moments that pulse with life: the curve of a wave, the gaze of a cat, the resilience in a woman’s stance. These subjects are not just muses—they are mirrors reflecting the emotional landscapes we all traverse. My palette is instinctive, often fiery or serene, depending on the story I’m telling. Whether it’s a stormy sky or a tranquil jungle, I aim to evoke a visceral response, inviting viewers to feel deeply and connect personally.

I paint because I care—about the Earth, its beauty, people and our role in protecting it. Painting is my way of honoring the beauty and complexity of the planet and our existence. It’s not just what we see, it’s what we feel.

Juror’s Statement

I have really been impressed with the talent, creativity and variety in this 12×12 or smaller show. While the winners stood out for various reasons there were many close contenders. My main criteria when judging the show were design, composition, values, use of color, skill in handling materials and the ever elusive….did it make me feel something. I want to stress the importance of framing or cleanly painted sharp edges on the gallery wrap.

Congratulations on a fantastic show!

Jane Keeling

First Place

The Mystery Of The Green Cat, Gary Green, Acrylic

This wonderful painting has so much going for it. The subject matter is a place with a cat that is familiar to the artist. The use of color and handling of light are effective. There is atmosphere and depth through the variation of edges and values. AND the cat’s attitude is evident.

Second Place

Blue, Kate Wendt, Oil & Cold Wax

The bold design pulled me in and the confident use of color layers and texture held my gaze. There is a stained glass effect going on that makes it seem like shadows beyond.

Third Place

Pisces Dream, Debra Eisenmann, Mixed Media

The artist has created an imaginary undersea world that is enchanting. The clever use of pattern and color layers and a fish kept it playful yet convincing. The balance of values and composition are strong.

Merit 

Piece Of My Heart, Gloria Comerford, Mixed Media

Solid composition, color harmony and interesting detail work successfully in this charmer. The framing is an enhancement and does not overpower this small piece.

Best In 3D

Bug-I, George Bieber, Clay

This small sculpture has a large personality. The skill of the sculptor and use of fanciful colors blend to create a whimsical wonder.

Honorable Mention

Trancen-dance, Liz Reyes, Acrylic

Orchids, confetti and hyper color are painted well to create a magic world however, the background color pulls in front of the subject visually.

Honorable Mention

Trafalgar Square, William Perry, Watercolor

The handling of light can be felt in this amazingly drawn little jewel of a painting. This is worth doing larger.

Honorable Mention

Controlled Colorful Chaos, Allison Rogers, Acrylic & Oil Pastels

Each of these pieces balance color, values, detail and texture while also working together as a whole. The skill in handling materials is evident. The canvas edges could be sharper when not framed.
