Our Eye of the Beholder theme show pairs a photographer with a painter to create a pair of works hung together – a photo the painter then interprets or a painting the photographer recreates or interprets. Best in Show this year is awarded to “The Embrace” photo by Ellen Ryder Griffin and “The Hug” watercolor by Veronica Wolfe.
