Our Jurors Wendy Green and Suzanne Crosby

Wendy Green

Wendy Green has been involved with design and engineering for over 35 years and finally making more time for her own creations. She taught architecture drafting and design at a post-secondary school in North East Philly for eight years. The rest of her teaching has been in the public-school sector teaching engineering and design.  Her passion is helping students find their passion in life through her design and engineering courses. She has an associate degree in Architectural Design and Drafting, CAD training, a BS in Industrial Arts and Technology Education.  She also has taught Content & Methods and the Seminar classes for technology student teachers and Biotechnology for education majors at The College of New Jersey. She strives to give students every opportunity to become the best technical writers, drawers and illustrators, and learn a design process that engineers use in the field. She currently teaches 10th grade Technology, Engineering and Design and 12th grade Systems Engineering II at the Marine Academy of Science and Technology and can be found behind her camera at most of the school events.  She is responsible for providing her students with experiences in design, art and photography to meet the Visual and Performing Arts standards in New Jersey. Besides photography, she works in many areas of art from realism to abstract using mostly acrylic paint, some sculpture and industrial design. She follows her inspirations and doesn’t let obstacles stop her from her attempts. 

Suzanne Crobsy

Suzanne’s interest in art began early in life when she developed an appreciation for Impressionism.  Growing up in Chicago, the Art Institute of Chicago, with its large collection of impressionist art, was a frequent hangout, and remains a favorite place to visit today.
 
In 2010, Suzanne enrolled in the Art Students League of New York where she was taught, critiqued, and encouraged by notable professionals including Will Barnet, Timothy J. Clark, Fredrick Wong, Nicky Orbach and Ellen Eagle.   She learned to paint by first learning how to draw and how to use the camera to develop an understanding of composition.
 
In 2021, Suzanne founded Art for Sea, a registered non-profit corporation based in Neptune, New Jersey.  Art for Sea is a coalition of artists who are artistically inspired by the ocean and donate artwork or time as workshop leaders to Art for Sea.  Art For Sea then sells donated artwork at a variety of venues throughout the year.  Proceeds earned by Art For Sea are provided as grants to ocean conservation groups that have internships throughout the year.
