It is with great pleasure that I am able to share that my sculpture "Mayflies and Trout Rise, Okutama River" has been juried into the Audubon Artists 75th Anniversary Annual Exhibition. This exhibition will be on display online from Oct. 1st - Dec 31st, 2017.
Thirty sculptors were selected this year to have their work displayed in this online exhibition. I am deeply honored to have been chosen to among this number.
