Juror

Dmitry Grudsky

Dmitry is a professional artist with more than 35 years of experience. His specialty is water medium and Mosaic Art.

He has participated in many National and International Shows and is a Signature Member of the following art societies: Society of West Coast Artists, California Watercolor Association, North West Watercolor Society and Watercolor West. Dmitry has lived in the California Bay Area for the last 35 years. Bay Area scenery reminds Dmitry of his native Uzbekistan’s landscape.
