The West Suburban Artists Guild has again bestowed a Merit Award on the work of Marge Zwadlo for her work entitled “Flight #43.” This work was done in acrylic and is, as the judges said, “a bold combination of two spaces within one picture … each with a different mood … could represent the duality often encountered in life … rhythm is created … unexpected detail appears upon closer inspection.” The picture will be on display again along with others at the Best of the Best in Oak Brook in November. If you are interested in viewing more of Marge’s prize winning works you can reach her at msmzwadlo@hotmail.com.
