Funderburk in National Publications

by pna on July 21, 2010

Brent Funderburk has won multiple awards and has artworks published in two recent national, juried publications.

His paintings, “Flying World”, Today”, and “Goodbye, Red” were selected by juror Dina Deitsch as Professional Fine Art Award winners presented in “Creative Quarterly: The Journal of Art and Design” (Issue #19). Deitsch, who is Assistant Curator of Contemporary Art at the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Lincoln, MA, also selected Funderburk’s “Rise and Fall” As a “Professional Fine Art Runner up” featured on Creative Quarterly’s Online Gallery with the award winners. Of nearly five hundred entries, Funderburk was one of nine professional fine artists selected, and one of three with more than one award. CQ is distributed in the US, Canada, and the UK.

Funderburk’s “One Over Abiquiu” was also selected by juror Adia Millet, noted artist and Whitney Museum Fellow, as one of ten Professional Fine Art Award winners in Issue #17 of Creative Quarterly, published earlier this year.

Works selected include “One Over Abiquiu”, and “Goodbye Red”. Works from 130 artists were juried by Editor Steven Zevitas from over 950 entries.
