Senior Juror: Lyn Diefenbach
The pursuit of masterly quality and technique is a high priority for Lyn Diefenbach whose work is imbued with a celebration of her faith and of life. Her paintings in pastel and oil cover a myriad of subject matter with her bold florals consistently receiving accolades nationally and internationally. Her ability to communicate her ideas has entrenched her as a respected and sought-after tutor and judge, with teaching and competition judging engagements internationally and across Australia over many years. With the advent and acceptance of online teaching and demonstrations, Lyn’s teaching has reached a global audience. The reaction to her demonstration in the second Pastel Live! Convention in 2022 has opened up many more doors for her to teach, demonstrate and judge around the globe.

Lyn was accepted into the International Guild of Realism in 2008, and holds Master Pastellist status with the Pastel Society of Australia. She was awarded Eminent Pastellist status (the highest level) in the International Association of Pastel Societies in 2019, having reached Masters Circle status in 2014. Lyn was accepted into the Pastel Society of America as a Signature Member in 2016. She has been featured numerous times in the International Artist, Pastel Journal, Pratique des Arts (France) and Australian Artist magazines.

Lyn was honored to be one of only 6 international artists invited to be part of the 100 Years of Pastelling in China celebration held in Suzhou in 2019.

Juror: Stéphane Le Mouël
Stéphane Le Mouël was born in 196;, from an early age he was interested in drawing.
At the age of 12, he joined the courses at the Beaux-arts de Saint-Brieuc (22) and learned the basics of drawing; from 14 to 18 he took part in various workshops within the Beaux-arts (sketch, still life, naked). Influenced by impressionist painters and painters of the navy, Stéphane painted outdoors and tested different mediums: watercolor, ink and wash, and pastels.

The encounter with abstract expressionism pushes Stéphane to let go while integrating a touch of the figurative, his new pictorial signature. Stéphane won the prize of the Paul Ricard symposium in Bandor. Today you can meet him at painting or pastel fairs, in exhibitions or during pastel demonstrations for the most major manufacturers. This February, he was presenting Pastel Girault during the prestigious Exhibition Art Capital Salon Ephemere in Paris.
