So far in 2026, my art’s focus is tending towards rainbow hues even more than usual—with a nod to the US’s 250th anniversary in a preponderance of bald eagle art and a presidential portrait.

Also, I received a 2026 Fellowship from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts! I give a behind-the-scenes look at the application process in this post and talk about some of my favorite discoveries among this year’s fellows here.
