Jurors - Two-Dimensional

Jocelyn Audette, Calistoga Jocelyn Audette is an artist and plein air landscape painter whose work depicts the beauty of the western United States. She is a vivid colorist with a deft abstract touch that points to the dialogue on canvas. Her paintings are oils on linen, canvas, board, or paper as well as watercolor, encaustic, gouache, charcoal, ink, and other mediums. “To me, being an artist is all about visually expressing my own experiences and perceptions...and as I love new discoveries and am stimulated by variety.” She studied under William Wheeler, has had numerous exhibitions, and is represented by galleries across the United States.

Berenice Happé Iriks, Sebastopol Berenice Iriks works mainly in watercolors and pastels. “I enjoy exploring many different subjects and themes including the sculptural beauty of objects, the wonder of nature, and a never ending interest in people”. Watercolors have a fresh, luminous quality that has always attracted me. My work in pastels adds the pleasure of drawing and a different and exciting type of color to the process of creating a painting. Drawing has always been a favorite activity. I was in my early thirties before I began a serious study of fine art. Painting is still my passion. I now share my enthusiasm for making art by teaching classes for seniors through our local college.

Charles “Chuck” Pyle, Petaluma Chuck Pyle is the Director of the School of Illustration, Academy of Art University, San Francisco. He was trained as an illustrator at the Academy, and comes from an impressive freelance career. Chuck drew pictures from an early age and still remembers fondly the unique aroma of warm crayons and manila paper. Early artistic influences were Thomas Nast, Charles Dana Gibson, Mort Drucker, Jack Davis, Wally Wood, James R. Neill, and the great editorial cartoonists like Oliphant, Herblock, and Daumier. Art school broadened Chuck's palette of influences and interests to the great painter illustrators including Rockwell, Cornwell, Pyle and Tepper. He is an internationally sought-after artist, working with clients from New York to Tokyo. A partial list of his past clients include Microsoft, Pacific Bell, Safeway, Avis, Ask Jeeves, Sun Microsystems, Reader’s Digest, and the New York Times. His work has been widely exhibited, and is part of many permanent collections.
