Artists reflect on Winter Festival-winning pieces

Three of the winners of this year’s Mann Art Gallery Winter Festival Show and Sale have more in common than just inclusion in the same exhibition.
Reanne Settee, Sharron Schoenfeld and Donna Stockdale submitted different pieces with different subject matter in different mediums. But each of the three winners first got their start in other art forms.
Stockdale has been an artist as long as she remembers.
“In my family, art was always part of our life,” she said.
