Jeremy Mann fell in love with abstraction early on, before obtaining the fine art degrees that would allow him to throw himself into the work with the unshackled obsession of a self-made artist and the technical prowess of an art school alum, all in service of a fearless vision.

More Amazing Entries! Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize 2025: Painting and Drawing Entries
We are thrilled to announce the introduction of an entirely new award, made possible through the generous patronage of Catherine K. Gyllerstrom: Collector, Art Consultant, and Owner & Art Director of BearWolf Books. We are deeply grateful for her support and vision in bringing this award to life. We cannot thank her enough, and we are excited to see the incredible entries that will shape this inaugural category. Introducing the Catherine K. Gyllerstrom Imaginative Realism Award.
A pencil-wielding wizard exploring the intricate depths of interiority, Summer Aldis has always had a penchant for elevating limitations into art. Growing up in Australia without means to equip her wandering imagination with a boxload of expressive tools, she worked with pencil and paper, and arguably “an unhealthy amount of stubbornness”, as she gradually developed from a self-taught artist to an award-winning champion of the humble graphite.
2nd Prize Winner, Victoria Olt Gallery Drawing Award 2025: Senescence
