Juror for the 2025 Show: Cynthia Horn
Born in California’s Central Valley, Horn moved to the Bay Area to study art at the University of California, Berkeley, later receiving an MFA from the University of California, Davis. Primarily a painter, Horn relies on personal diaristic images as a recording of daily life around her both real and imagined. She uses unheroic images of friends and a subtle and emotionally subdued color palette so that the paintings become a glimpse of the macro and microcosm of the world as she perceives it. Horn’s work as an artist is supported by her work as a teacher; both of these professions are fueled by her unwavering commitment to education in the arts and to her students. Horn serves as a full-time Professor of Painting and Drawing at College of Alameda and continues to teach at College of Marin and Chabot College.
