It is an honor to have Luther Kelly Hall as this year’s Juror. His work has been featured in galleries and collections in the United States, Canada, and Japan, and also in sporting publications due to his personal outdoor passions for fishing and hunting that are primary features of his paintings. He is a dedicated conservationist and has been honored for his many contributions to conservation.
