At this year's TSA Spring Convention Visual Arts Salon there were many
extraordinary entries in the categories of cartography, photography, and fine
arts.
In the cartography division there were 8 entries by Texas cavers Dale Barnard,
Marvin Miller, David Ochel, Will Quast, and Peter Sprouse. David Ochel won a
merit blue ribbon for Wildflower Cave, Travis County, and Marvin Miller won
two honorable mention awards for Government Canyon Blowhole and Taylor Bat
Cave. Thanks to judges Don Arburn, Dave Cave McClung, and Orien Knox for
spending considerable time making difficult decisions.
The photographic and fine arts divisions were combined for judging. There were
6 photo entries by Bennett Lee, David Ochel, and Will Quast, and three fine art
entries by Evelyn Townsend. The photographic merit award went to David Ochel
for Follow the Flowstone, and an honorable mention ribbon was awarded to
Bennett Lee for Translucent Wing. Bennett was also the winner of the TCMA
Merit Award for best entry depicting or representing a Texas conservancy cave
preserve. Evelyn Townsend's Etched Shell Pendant earned a merit award for
fine arts. Her entries were donated to the TCMA auction that followed the
presentation of salon awards. Thanks to dedicated judges Jocie Hooper, Jay
Jorden, and Dr. Ann Scott.
Additional thanks to Bill Steele for use of the heavy-duty tent that housed the
salons, and to the several volunteers who helped to set up and disassemble it.
Photos of the salon exhibit will be sent to the Texas Caver editor, and
volunteers to help with next year's salons and ideas for improvement are
needed. Please contact RD Milhollin at this e-mail address.
Now is the time to begin preparing for the 2015 TSA Visual Arts Salon. So get
down and begin taking cave photos, drafting cave maps, and creating
cave-related art, and have those completed projects ready to dazzle attendees
at next year's TSA Spring Convention.---End Message---
