Ladies and gents, we've been at this for only four years and continue to be inspired by the level of talent and devotion we see in the ever-growing KWF artist community. We've also noticed, over the years, an incredibly solid contingent of extremely committed, skilled, and insightful female artists. This year was no different. So at the risk of burying the lede, let us briefly introduce the 2017 KWF Sponsored Artist:
Kelly McKernan
This year, like others past, the ladies brought it. There is an extremely talented generation of early career female artists entering the predominantly male field of pop culture art, and their voices are vibrant, fresh, and loud. Through work like Kelly's, they roar.
This year's applicants even included, for the first time, significant representation from the international community, a poignant reminder of how art brings us all together, transcending nationality, gender, and cultures. We are humbled, and especially thankful for the sage guidance of this year's expert panelist, Simon Thorpe, who hails from the UK.
And to our supporters and fans: You are the beating warp core that makes all this possible. Thank you. We'll have more to say about Kelly in the coming days. But in the meantime, please join us in congratulating her!
