Dubnick wins award for winter landscape fabric artwork
Caron Dubnick of La Ronge won the Kyla Art Group Landscape Award earlier this month at the annual Juried Winter Festival Art Show and Sale, held at the Mann Art Gallery in Prince Albert.
Artists were allowed to make one submission into the show and Dubnick entered a fabric textile piece entitled “Just Another Winter Day” into the exhibit. In all, 104 pieces were submitted into the show and about 20 artists won an award of some kind. Dubnick had entered work into the competition in previous years, but this marks her first win.
“Of course, it’s really nice just to be acknowledged and to see people see something they like in your work,” she said. “It’s extra interesting for me this year because I wasn’t all that happy with the one I sent, but I sent it anyway. It proved to me it’s hard to be objective to your own work and sometimes other people see things you don’t.”
