About our Juror

Our Juror this year is Stephen Quiller

Stephen Quiller is an internationally known painter who works primarily in water media, monotypes, and intaglio printmaking. He is best known
for his innovative approach to water media painting: watercolor, gouache, acrylic, casein and their combinations, and for his use of color.

He has written six books, all published by Watson-Guptill:
Water Media Painting with Stephen Quiller
Water Media Techniques
Water Media: Processes and Possibilities
Color Choices
Acrylic Painting Techniques
Painter's Guide to Color

His research and development of a color wheel for painters - called the “Quiller Wheel” - is now used by thousands of painters throughout the
world. In addition, he has developed twelve instructional dvds produced by Crystal Productions, as well as two dvds produced by the Richeson
Company in 2004.

Stephen Quiller has painted in many parts of the world, but is primarily known for his work done at or near his home in the high mountainous
country of southern Colorado. These subjects include beaver ponds, snow shadows, water patterns, wild iris, and mountain rhythms, capturing
the spirit of the San Juans. Through his painting, he has become a Signature member of the American Watercolor Society, National Watercolor
Society, Rocky Mountain National Water Media, and Society for Painters in Acrylic and Casein, among others. His work has been selected for the
Gold Medal of Honor in 2014 and the Silver Medal of Honor in 2018 at the American Watercolor Society International Exhibition held at the
Salmagundi Club in New York City.

Stephen's paintings have been on the covers and the subject of articles in many leading art magazines. He has also been an invited juror for a
number of regional and national art exhibitions. Most recently 18 of his paintings hang at the governor's offices at the capitol and will until
Governor Hickenlooper leaves office.

A popular workshop instructor, he teaches his approach to color, water media, composition, and on-location painting, throughout North America
and internationally.

Stephen shows in the Mission Gallery of Taos, New Mexico, and during the summer months he and his wife, Marta, operate their Quiller Gallery
in Creede, Colorado.
