Sarah Janece Garcia received word from Hunting PLC that she is one of the 115 artists that have been selected to move on to the final round of judging in the 2014 Hunting Art Prize for her painting “Wonderment”.

She now enters the second phase of a two-tiered jury process for the $50,000 prize, historically the most generous annual award in North America for painting and drawing.

The panel of jurors that narrowed the submissions to the final 115 participants, from nearly 1,500 entries, will reconvene in April to determine the winner and the 2014 recipient will be announced at the Hunting Art Prize gala on May 3, 2014.
