2008 Juror

Veronica Ruland                                                                                                                 

The juror for this year’s show will be Veronica Ruland, a freelance photographer from Dallas.  Veronica’s enjoyment is capturing images that make people stop and look at the details.  So often we are in a rush going about our daily activities that we forget to look at the beauty around us.  Veronica began college studying architecture at Texas Tech University, but when she switched over to photography, she did not leave that passion or eye for detail behind.  She continued and moved her education to Sam Houston State University and received a BFA in Art-Photography. 

She has experience teaching middle school and high school art, and photographing in areas of portraiture, journalism, and commercial photography.  Her main focus though is bringing fine art to people. She enjoys traveling and reminding people to stop and enjoy the small details that are around them whether it is in nature or man made.   Since 2004, she has begun sharing her work and attending art shows and scheduling for gallery spaces in several Texas cities such as Lubbock, Austin, Dallas and its surrounding cities.
