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 presidential portraits along with art representing national symbols.

For my portrait work over the last few years, I received a 2026 Individual Artist Fellowship from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. I give a look at the application process in this article.

During the last three weeks of August, I created a mural of a forest for American Fiduciary Services in Portland, Oregon. Learn more in the video below, and see more of the behind-the-scences by subscribing through Patreon!
