Carol Keefe's "Nantucket Mirage," one of the winner's at this year's AAN Juried Exhibition.

"These works of art were selected for the artists' passion, knowledge of the principles of art, the quality of their skill and, most important, the artistic poetry expressed," said the show's judge, Kathleen Knight of the Gallery at Four India Street.
