Juror
Darryl Halbrooks is an artist, writer and professor emeritus from Eastern Kentucky University as well as visiting professor at East Carolina University. His artwork varies greatly in subject matter and style, ranging from abstract to hyper-real.
​
"My first real duty is to entertain and please myself. If I know the work is good, I can write about tragedy, paint fake religious figures or total abstractions...and have the most fun ever."
​
