Remarks by the 2014 Jurors:
The Connecticut Pastel Society Renaissance in Pastel Exhibition is an annual highlight in the calendar of the pastel world. This show is no exception. The work is beautiful, strong and creative, and the Slater Museum offeres a marvelous setting. It was an honor to have been chosen to be one of your judges and to share judging responsibilities with Janet Cook. Each painting was thoughtfully considered and the awards were carefully chosen. Congratulations to all who where accepted to this important pastel exhibition and especially to your award winners. Bravo!

I want to congratulate all the artists on being accepted into this prestigious exhibition. It’s a magnificent show, which meant choosing the winners was very challenging. Ultimately, I was looking for something with energy and atmosphere, combined with technical acumen, imagination and originality. With so much great work to choose from, it was a pretty formidable task. Well done everyone.
– Janet Cook
