However, for the award he chose Emily Cox's "Driven," an oil painting of the front end of a car. He liked both the "skill in the use of the medium and the strength of the statement. You can enjoy the piece close-up or far away."

But then, the same could be said for the whole show.

"You look at the show and see that the future of professional art in Utah is just phenomenal. You look at the potential in this show, and it's just wonderful."

Something that has always been crucial to my art work is feeling. Not just the emotion and feeling portrayed, but to evoke those same emotions in those viewing it.

— Dylan Hoffman, Davis
