We are pleased to announce Gaithersburg Fine Arts Association’s 37th Annual Members’ Juried Show April 21 through July 16, 2023 at the Kentlands Mansion in Gaithersburg, MD.
 

JUROR: Our juror for this show is Michael Shibley. Michael is a local artist who lives in Takoma Park, MD. His artwork has been recognized through a variety of awards and professional citations. His original watercolors and oils that focus on light, shape and color in the natural and man-made landscape can be found in both public and private collections in the Washington area and across the country. His use of color attracts attention at local art galleries and group shows. His colorful urban landscapes depicting people participating in urban life have proved increasingly popular and have resulted in numerous commissioned works.
 

Michael offers personal tutoring in watercolor as well as larger classes. He is currently an art instructor at the Yellow Barn Studio at Glen Echo Park. His class, “Finding Your
Watercolor Style” offers students painting techniques and approaches for application to the student’s preferred subject matter. Michael is also an active participant in the
Washington, D.C., area art community including the Montgomery Art Association (MAA); the Takoma Watercolor Group; the Fredericksburg Center for the Creative Arts, and
is a Friend of the Yellow Barn. He has also been invited to serve as a juror at local art exhibitions.
