Jennifer Clark-Plymouth artist, Jennifer Clark, 2022’s Best in Show Winner, explains that growing up in a family of artists, she was encouraged to use her creativity as far as her imagination would go. While studying graphic design her junior year in college, a paintbrush found its way into her hand, which resulted in a BA in Fine Arts from the University of Utah. The versatility of Jenny’s work appears in the interpretive range of her subjects, from realistic to humorous to modern abstraction, but most of all with an empathetic touch. She embraces impressionistic emotion and luminous color element, delighting in bringing them to life.
Keith Conforti works professionally as a photographer, graphic designer and college professor. He teaches classes and workshops on both disciplines. His visual style relies heavily on composition, honed by his years as a graphic designer, to create order out of nature’s chaos. Keith’s fine art photography has garnered recognition and numerous awards from the South Shore Art Center, North River Arts Society, the Massachusetts Cultural Council, and the Department of Conservation and Recreation. His commercial work has been published in the Cohasset Mariner and South Shore Living magazine
