TESTIMONIALS
“I am deeply honored that The Spots Remain was selected for Best in Show and that What Was Said received a Crystal Award. Mixed media has become an especially exciting part of my artistic journey. It allows me the freedom to build, obscure, reveal and respond to each layer as the painting develops. To have these works recognized by the judges is both meaningful and encouraging. My heartfelt thanks to Gallery Ring for continuing to provide artists with opportunities to share their work and to the judges for the time, thought and consideration they give to each competition.
I am truly grateful for these honors.” — LINDA L. MCCORD

EMERALD ARTIST OF AUGUST
ARTISTS OF THE MONTH
2026
“Thank you very much for this wonderful news and for the honor of receiving the Golden Trio Award in ALIVE. I am deeply grateful that The Bee’s Dream, The Butterfly’s Eyes and The Scarab of Light were recognized with this special distinction. As part of my series Rugs & Reverence, these works were conceived as interconnected visual narratives and it is especially meaningful to know that their collective symbolism, creativity and artistic vision resonated with the juror. To receive this special distinction once again is both humbling and deeply meaningful. Over the years, Gallery Ring has become an important part of my artistic journey. From my first exhibitions with Gallery Ring to the honors I have received along the way — including Emerald Artist of the Year — each experience has been marked by professionalism, consistency and a sincere commitment to recognizing artistic excellence.”
— ANNITA APOSTOLIDOU PLATIS
