For the Love of Spring is an inaugural juried exhibition presented by the Las Vegas Artists’ Guild (LVAG). The artwork, representing a wide variety of mediums and styles, was selected for exhibition by jurors Angela Brommel, Jeff Fulmer, and Clarice Tara. Winners were then decided by the judge Bobbie Ann Howell.

Clarice Tara is an artist whose work explores the relationships of femininity and the female form. She engages with a diversity of concepts and mediums. Ranging from hyper-realistic graphite drawings to performance, sculpture, and photography, she discusses her personal experiences with womanhood. Tara’s intention is to open a dialogue within the mind of the viewers through the language of shape and shade. She currently lives and works in Las Vegas, Nevada while attending UNLV for her BFA in Sculpture and Drawing/Painting.
