The St. Michaels Art League (SMAL) is pleased to announce the winners of their 2026 Members Show featuring all mediums.
The show was judged by Dianne DuBois Mullaly, well-known local contemporary impressionist artist. Diane studied at Temple University’s Tyler School of Art and is especially known for her palette knife paintings in oil. She is a devoted plein air painter, a docent at Adkins Arboretum leading Nature Art journaling groups, and a frequent instructor at Academy Art Museum in Easton.
First Place was awarded to MaryEllyn Lynott for her painting “CBMM.” Second Place went to Stephen Walker for his painting “A Creek Runs Through It”. Third place was awarded to Abby Ober for her painting “Along the Shoreline”. Honorable mentions went to Ted Mueller for his photograph “Getting Ready for Crabbing,” and to Scott Sullivan for his charcoal portrait “Channeling”. Judge’s Choice awards also went to Lynne Davis for her painting “Stormy Sky” and to Marianne Eby for her 3D work “Geisha Sunken Treasure.”
You can view the exhibit through June 28th at the Talbot County Free Library in St Michaels located in the newly dedicated Shauna Beulah gallery at 106 Fremont St. There were so many entries for the Members Show that artists chose which piece to go in the judged show at the library and the second piece is on display at “The Blue Crab” coffee and restaurant adjacent to the library at 102 S. Fremont St. You are encouraged to vote for the “People’s Choice Award” at The Blue Crab. Votes will be counted on June 29th. Art for sale at the library through the artist; art at The Blue Crab for sale at the venue.
