  4. would love to see Michele Utley’s Fait Accompli on the cover of the magazine. It is truly a masterpiece that touches the heart and soul. Thank you.

  6. I vote and love the artwork of Michele Utley Voigt, Fait Accompli for the Cover !!!

  10. So many layers of concept and emotion in Sarah Treanor’s image. It led me to read about her process and powerful story and it blew my mind. So excited for this.

  17. I’m a huge fan of Sarah Treanor’s photography, so my vote goes to Sanctuary.

  23. Sarah Treanor’s Sanctuary. There are some wonderful pieces here; some technically outstanding pieces. I cannot compare them, yet I find the subject of Sarah Treanor’s photo intriguing because it represents an imperfection; a raw, natural, human conflict. Meaning the title tells us “Sanctuary” but the image is the opposite of what that word implies. It is an imperfect, muck-surrounded, desperation collapsing into a crude structure hoping for sanctuary: but from what? Or whom? I just think it tells the story of art in a profoundly complex and challenging way. I sincerely hope that the magazine is confident enough to look at the story the pieces tell rather than playing it safe with images that are “comfortable” or those created only for shock value. Art should give back so much to the viewer that overwhelm and speechlessness are the only possible responses. Do pardon my use of absolutes, I’m not intentionally pedantic, it just . . . happens. Anyway, my vote is for “Sanctuary”, by Sarah Treanor.

  30. Congratulations to all the cover art exhibition winners!! 🙂 I vote for The Factory by Steph France for the cover.

  33. Sarah Treanor’s “Sanctuary” is so creative and emotional…I think it would make a great cover !!

  34. “Sanctuary” should grace your cover. It is, quite simply, head and shoulders above all the others. It offers a real human connection, which I felt was lacking in the others.

  35. I am delighted to discover Artist Portfolio magazine. About an image for your cover? I am inspired by Sarah Treanor’s series of grief photographs. Sanctuary will draw readers to all of your fabulous artists.

  39. I think Sanctuary by Sarah Treanor is amazing. There is a rawness and power to it. You can a truly feel the emotion flowing from it. Such an impressive piece. I’m looking forward to the article.

  48. Susan Kneeland’s Harbor Huddle is just beautiful and peaceful. I love her use of light and the blue reflection of the water to change the color of the boats. Best cover ever!

  49. Fait Accompli by Michele Utley is a beautiful emotional piece of art. It tugs at my heart. Definitely my vote for the cover!
