I was accepted into the Salmagundi Club in December. Two months later, I entered my painting Three Brothers into my first exhibition there, Connections. At that same exhibition, the juror awarded Three Brothers First Place.

In this painting, I explore how family members relate within shared spaces. I focus on quiet tension, distance, and connection in everyday moments—a quiet scene captured on canvas.

The Salmagundi Club has a long tradition of supporting representational art. This award, especially so early in my membership, confirms that this direction in my work resonates.
