Gold ($100): Samara Raiche, "In Flight"

Artist's statement: " 'In Flight' is an abstract portrait of an owl in acrylic paint. I wanted the background to look blurry and to not be that focused on it so the owl would be the main focus. I did darker trees to make them seem farther away and a lighter tree to make them seem closer."

Silver ($75): Goldenrose, "The Worlds We're Stuck Between"

Artist's statement: "How we interpret the world, describe it, and what it is. What we strive for, and what is reality. This depiction of reality is up for interpretation, but aims to capture where we stand now. We are caught between our human needs, and how they affect the world around us. We wish for a reality where we can stitch back together what we are losing. This piece asks what is stopping us, and where we are going next."

Bronze ($50): Amalie@kua, "When Shadows Meet"

Artist's statement: "When the moon shines on snow – shadows meet."
