Dear All,

Happy 2025!

As I leave 2024 with gratitude, I warmly embrace the new year with enthusiasm and hope.

While my work Stilte is currently on display at Galerie Bonnard as part of their 40th-anniversary exhibition, I'm happy to introduce Night of Quest, one of my animal-inspired works created for Naarden the Art Fair, which will take place from January 23 to 26.

In this newsletter, you'll also find more details and links about the Art Fair, along with some exciting news from the Portrait Society of America.

Enjoy!

Night of Quest

Night of Quest

"Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all."

- Emily Dickinson

Creating Night of Quest has been a beautiful adventure!

Working in the late hours, when darkness forms a comfortable and quiet bubble around me, I searched for this owl's intense and piercing gaze, one that can penetrate obscurity.

Like a visual metaphor, I was looking for my gaze, in my constant quest for meaning, for light, for something just beyond my grasp.

This is the fascination I have for these majestic birds, they embody that hope Emily Dickinson writes about: silent, resilient, and unwavering, even in the depths of night.

Night of Quest is a portrait of a feeling, that quiet, sacred moment when we hold onto faith and trust the light will come, even when it feels far away.

The results of the Portrait Society of America's Members Only Competition were announced last December, and I'm happy to share that Pecus won 6th place in the Animals as the Subject category, while Flora was a Finalist in the Out of the Box Portrait category.

It's a great honor to receive recognition in this prestigious annual competition organized by such an important art institution. Winners and finalists are listed on the Portrait Society of America's website, and an article about the winners will be featured in International Artist Magazine.
