I was honored to be voted "artist of the month" for February 2026 by the NCA membership at our monthly meeting in January. This allowed my painting to be featured in the gallery for the entire month, and was quite an honor to be recognized by the other artists.

First Place in the Fine Arts Category at the Lodi Sand Hill Crane Festival
I was awarded first place for my painting Sandhill Dance at the Lodi Sandhill Crane Association annual Lodi Sandhill Crane Festival in November 2025. The festival includes an art show, and judges award within two Divisions of Original Art: Fine Art and Photography. Each division has a category for Sandhill Cranes in California and another for California wildlife in its natural habitat. It was quite a surprise considering the caliber of art selected for this exhibit.
