Julie Mader of Smethport is this year's winning artist in WPSU's Art for the Airwaves competition. Her winning work is an acrylic painting based on a photograph of flowers from her father's garden. She calls the painting "Landing Zone." Mader is our first repeat winner, who won the competition with a different painting in 2014. She spoke with WPSU's Kristine Allen about her painting.
