BECKLEY, W.Va. -- The Tamarack Foundation presents "The Best of West Virginia: A Juried Exhibition" in the David L. Dickirson Fine Arts Gallery at Tamarack through Aug. 8.

Awards were announced at an opening reception June 19, including:

Best of Show, $2,000, Lynn Boggess of Canvas for a winter scene called "April 8, 2009." Its immediate impact and strong, bold lines and textures earned it the highest prize.

Second place, $1,000, Zachary Orcutt of Parkersburg for "Justin Case," a mechanical piece using a multitude of materials and devices.

Third place, $500, Barbara Marsh Wilson of Hurricane for "I Can Fly," a four-panel, layered piece.

Two merit awards, $250 each, David Merrill of Morgantown and Lori Doolittle of Richwood. Merrill's painting "An Old Man from New Orleans" captures a dapper man with a satisfied smile seated on a bench and tapping his cigar. Doolittle's whimsical "Propeller Man" ceramic sculpture captures a playful technique.

Judges were Marilyn Cooper, proprietor, Cooper Gallery; Kate McComas, community outreach manager, Clay Center for the Arts and Sciences; and Dr. Harry Faulk, vice president, New River Community and Technical College.

Awards were provided by Linda and David Dickirson, the Tamarack Foundation, and Tamarack: The Best of West Virginia.
