The
"Leaves & Petals" exhibition opened on February 1st and

For
this competition artists and photographers worldwide were encouraged
to share their artistic vision and interpretation of flowers, leaves,
herbs, plants, shrubs, bushes, hedges and other botanical or floral

abstraction and all artists and photographers, regardless of location
or experience, were encouraged to submit.
The
Best in Show winners are Catherine Martinez-Perez for her watercolor,
"Rainbow Dew" and Sylvia Freeman for her digital

Catherine and Sylvia are Fusion Art's Featured Artists for the month
of February 2017 and, as the Best in Show winners, both artists are
also invited to participate in Fusion Art's 2nd Annual Group Show in
Palm Springs, CA, in November 2017.
