Jurors: Virginia S. Block, Bill Westheimer

Virginia S. Block is a fine artist whose work is in numerous private and corporate collections. She has had a long and varied art career, including working as an art teacher, package and logo designer, and director of incentive marketing. Block has been represented by galleries in Washington, DC, PA, NJ, and NY since 1980, and is currently represented by Fredrick Clement in NY.

Bill Westheimer is a well-known photographer who has been fascinated with alternative photographic processes since making his first photograph at age 14. After college, Bill studied with Jerry Burchfield, who introduced him to color photograms and Cibachrome (ilfochrome) printing, which he went on to teach at Colorado Mountain College in Aspen. Bill has also studied the 19th century technique of collodion glass plate photography from France Scully and Mark Osterman, leading experts in that field.

He has collaborated on a camera obscura project with Charles Schwartz documenting New York City. He has three published books to his credit: “Manual, the personalities of Hands” and “Oddyssey” and its sequel “Billiad.”

Westheimer’s recent works include 3D printed sculptures, photograms made on collodion glass plates, ilfochrome and gelatin silver mediums. His works are exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide.
