In June 2026, I attended the Hudson River Fellowship in Lakeville, Connecticut. Painting in the same places that inspired artists like Frederic Church and Sanford Gifford, I explored what it means to approach the landscapes through a contemporary lens. I reflected on the relationship between tradition and modern practice, using plein air painting to further develop my own visual language. The work produced during the fellowship will be exhibited in November at the Salmagundi Club in New York City.​​​
