Thanks to Ron Kobli and everyone from the Decoys & Wildlife Gallery in Frenchtown, NJ for such a nice show!  My family and I were pleased to meet many of our collectors from the area.

If you happen to be near Frenchtown, be sure to drop by the gallery to browse the paintings and art.  They still have quite a collection of our pieces for the holiday season – both smaller and larger pieces.  (www.decoyswildlife.com)

I am pleased to post that this painting, "Symphony of Light", watercolor on ivorine, was awarded a top honor at the Miniature Art Society of Florida’s 33rd annual exhibition – "Best Work by a Young Artist" (Best of Show for artists 35 or younger).  This is the second time I have been given this award, which I am very honored for especially being that I am still a ‘20 something’.

It is quite an honor to have been given such high awards at both the MASF and MPSGS this year.  Many thanks to both societies.  As our elite miniature art exhibitions in the United States, each of them are surpassed by none.  I greatly appreciate all that they do to preserve miniature art and it’s roots.

(Also, I want to post a congratulations to my sister, Bonnie, for her award of "Best Animal" at the CPA International Miniature Exhibition in PA with her beautiful Asian leopard portrait.  I am very proud of her. )
