JUDGE: Cissy McCabe Quinn LWS was born and raised on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Nature has always been her inspiration and teacher. It also draws her in to see past the surface, to see the layers of creation. A decaying fishing cottage on the banks of the bayou, with rich neutral colors of the weathered wood contrasting with the warm inviting red of the rusty roof; the embrace of lush, overgrown foliage; the aging majestic shrimp boat with peeling paint and rusty rigging reaching up to the heavens; birds flying over the waters like angels flying low with grace and joy. These scenes are her inspiration and in painting them she hopes to share the experience with the viewer and to preserve our heritage of beautiful, natural resources.
