San Diego area artists, ranging in age from two to adult, submitted paintings, drawings, sculptures, collages, jewelry, and mixed media representing Lion King themes as part of a special contest and exposition.  From African wildlife, nature and Lion King characters to depictions of family. love and friendship artists exceeded expectations.

A jury of 10 gallerists and community leaders used a blind ranking system to collectively choose a total of 48 pieces to be part of the Circle of Life Community Art Expo which took place at Pacific Sotheby’s on August 5.  Winners in each category — adult, youth and teen —  were announced during the Art Expo and are pictured above.
