Thrilled that my painting “Providence” has been selected to be shown in the American Artists Professional League 98th Grand National Exhibition! The show runs November 17th -December 5th at the Salmagundi Club in NYC.

I’m truly honored that “A Little Bit Blue” was accepted as a Finalist in the American Artists Professional League’s 98th Grand National Exhibition, opening this fall at the Salmagundi Club in NYC.

The AAPL Grand National is always a remarkable line up of artists and I encourage everyone to get to the Exhibition and/or view the Exhibition online.
