ART
Art can speak a thousand words , transcending the page to enter the viewer ’ s mind , body , and soul . This is what the art of TDS has come to be known for . And the award-winning artists do not disappoint .
“ The Devil ’ s Waltz ” by Jacqueline Pankhurst is a force to be reckoned with . The judges said the painting was a look inside hell itself , a painting that takes the viewer there and back .
“ Never Talk to Strange Psychopaths ” by Shaun Power captures the essence of TDS perfectly . It ’ s subtle fog , mysterious figure , and atmosphere encapsulate the viewer .
One horror , the other gothic , both works of art epitomize what TDS looks for in its art : surprise , inner depiction , texture , and mastery of form . Both of these works step into the realm of storytelling , sharing their own dialogue with the viewer .
TDS proudly presents the winners of Best Art , Ms . Jacqueline Pankhurst and Mr . Shaun Power , two of the best artists in our modern history . Enjoy !
