Juror Biography:
Artist Josephine Archer earned her M.F.A. Degree in Art from the University of Oregon. She has worked with printmaking and painting media for over 25 years.

The pieces range from 22” x 30” to 10’ x 20’. The layering within Josephine’s work creates an ethereal world behind graphic images composed of animals, figurative forms, and sometimes decorative elements.

Her work is also included in the Edgar Bronson Fine Art Collection, and she is a member of Southern Graphics, Non-toxic Printmaking, and College Art Association.
