Juror: Polly Laporte, a California fine art painter, was born in San Francisco, grew up in Placerville and currently lives in Sacramento. Life in Placerville shaped her art life, starting in grammar school with winning a blue ribbon at the El Dorado County Fair Art Show. Awarded an art scholarship, she attended Sugarloaf Art Camp, where she returned each summer as a student. She became a teacher at camp, then the art director. Dedication and singular-minded focus on the ultimate goal of improving her craft is making Polly LaPorte, an artist with a brush from the small town of Placerville, California a collectible artist today.
