Cranford Artist Wins Non-Pro Best in Show
Toru Ishiyama, a member of the Cranford Senior Art Class, was awarded non-pro Best in Show in the Union County Senior Art Show for his entry entitled “Chrysler Building.” The large mixed-media piece on plywood uses word-burning and watercolor to achieve a highly-detailed and colorful cityscape.
Three other members of this class, a program of the Cranford Community Center, also won awards.
Jeff Parsons earned First Place in non-pro watercolor for his piece “Lunch Break – Chrysemys Picta.” Craig Manders won Second Place in the non-pro drawing category for “The Road” and teacher Deb Hargiss got Second Place in professional drawing for “Uneasy Lie the Heads.”
