Distinctions

I am a member of New Hampshire Art Association, Arts Alive, New Hampshire Plein Air Painters, Monadnock Area Artists Association, a Signature member of New England Watercolor Society, Academic Artists Association, and Vermont Watercolor Society. My work has been juried into the National Art League and the Salmagundi Club in New York City. One of my paintings won the top award at The Salmagundi Club in New York. Searching for those special organizations that open up painting challenges for me continues to be an unexpected joy of this career.
