First Prize Winner,  narrative, scraffito, child's eye view
Annual Juried Exhibition
May 9 June 29, 2014

In the First Prize winning painting "Kitchen Story," Katherine Kurtz captures a sense of the sadness of childhood. Set in a kitchen as a toddler might view it, the vibrant reds and pinks of the painting are expressively countered by the scraffiti used to suggest both the figure of the child and an undefined mystery. Of 212 entries submitted to GoggleWorks, 79 works were accepted into the show and juried for prizes.

We know you love showing your friends what you are doing on Facebook. The problem is it doesn't really get you the kind of search engine exposure that your website, blog, or especially Google+ get you

So if you want more people to find your images and posts you might want to change your habits. At least expand your circle to other networks. There is a whole internet out there. Facebook is not the internet.
