Sand T Kalloch was given the award for her piece Prosperity Red that she submitted to this exhibition. This is the 8th award Kalloch has received in the past four years since the series conceived in 2007.  Kalloch also received a First Place award for her work Perfect Match currently showing in the RED show juried by Howard Yezerski and presented by the Cambridge Art Association in Cambridge, MA. The "Red" show is on display through January 11, 2012.

"A simplifying approach to art-making is the driving force behind my work. The primary intention is to utilize the basic elements of visual language such as dot(point), line, color, surface, form and light to create maximum visual impact. I use a combination of UV resistant epoxy resin, graphite and acrylic paint for this body of work. It is inspired by nature, time, space, color, sound, movement, and composition," comments Sand T Kalloch, previous gallery owner and art activist of artSPACE@16 in Malden. "I am fascinated with the interplay of line, dot and light where the relationship of harmony and balance play a significant role.
