Awards

Juror

Lyle Silver’s interest in and aptitude for art was unmistakable from early childhood. Silver undertook the Art Curriculum at Drake University, is a Commercial Art graduate from Edison Technical School and has taken classes at the Frye Art Museum and the Cornish School of Art.

Silver’s work appears in such collections as First Interstate Bank, Rainier Bank, and Group Health Hospital. He is a current member of the Northwest Pastel Society and the Puget Sound Group of Northwest Painters. Although he enjoys painting many subjects, his first and enduring love is landscapes.

Silver loves the artist’s life: the freedom and opportunity to explore and develop a life-long interest, and to be able to work in isolation but also enjoy the friendship and camaraderie of fellow artists.

Says the artist, “to grow, take risks, explore, seek different approaches, and not be satisfied or complacent - this, I think, is the greatest challenge for an artist.”
