Won the silver medal in the OPA's 2009 Eatsern Regional Exhibition and an Award of Excellence in their 2012 Eastern Regional. Three time finalist in The Artist Magazine Annual Portrait Competition. I got a fifth place award in the Portrait Society of America's 2012 Members Only Show and a gold medal in the Allied Artists of America's 96th National Exhibition. Most recently I am a finalist in the Art Renewal Center's 2013 International Salon Show. And I'm pretty proud of the book I co-created and illustrated called Upir and the Monster Gang.
