Painting with the American Society of Marine Artists on Antigua was an extraordinary experience. We painted en plein air in breathtaking locations, sailed on catamarans, and shared meals while exchanging ideas and inspiration. With a full and dynamic schedule, we embraced every moment to the fullest.
We also had the distinct honor of meeting His Excellency Sir Rodney Williams and Lady Williams.
One of the paintings created during this time will remain on Antigua as part of the future museum collection.
I am deeply grateful to the American Society of Marine Artists and Bob Osborne—not only for the thoughtful organization, but for the honor of being invited to such a special experience, one that will stay with me for a lifetime.
I’m thrilled to share that my painting received seventh place in the “Animal as a Subject” Members-Only Competitionof the Portrait Society of America. I’m truly grateful to the Society for selecting my work and honored to be part of such an amazing collection. Congratulations to all the winners and finalists—your work is inspiring!
