"REMINISCENT" wins Children's Choice Award at the 2023 Art in the County Juried Exhibition & Sale
Tara Wilkinson's image 'Reminiscent" was awarded the "Children's Choice Award" at the 30th Annual Art in the County Juried Exhibition and Sale.
Over 1,000 people of all ages visited the 10-day show in June-July 2023 in Picton to see 112 juried works by 86 County artists. Visitors of all ages were given a ballot and invited to vote on their favourite piece of art. A fine art photographer, Tara likes to also experiment ... taking the good bones of an image and applying digital tools to create stunning art works that reveal new ideas and challenge the imagination. "REMINISCENT" was just such an image. Tara felt the name captured its intent ... to visually capture the memories stirred by a beautiful scent. |
Comments from children when asked why they voted for this piece of art:
"It's colourful, and parts of it remind me of the stained glass window at my Aunt's house." "It looks like space. Kids love space because they want to go there." "It's colourful and makes me feel happy and silly." |

The online exhibition ran June 19th to July 31st, 2020 featuring 100 works by 76 County artists. Details about the 2021 show can be found at artinthecounty.com. |
