I’m honored and deeply grateful to share that my painting Between Seasons was awarded overall 5th place in this year’s Georgia Watercolor Society National Exhibition.

This piece holds a quiet, personal significance for me. Between Seasons grew out of that subtle, shifting moment in nature when one season gives way to another—when colors soften, edges blur, and everything feels suspended in transition. It’s a space I’m continually drawn to, both visually and emotionally, and one I return to often in my work.

To have this painting recognized among so many exceptional works by talented watercolorists across the country is truly humbling. I’m especially thankful to the jurors and organizers of the Georgia Watercolor Society for their dedication to celebrating watercolor as a vibrant and expressive medium. Exhibitions like this create a meaningful sense of community and shared purpose among artists.

I also want to extend my sincere thanks to those who support my work—collectors, fellow artists, friends, and everyone who follows along with what I’m creating. Your encouragement makes a difference in ways that are hard to fully express.

Moments like this remind me why I paint: to observe closely, to honor the natural world, and to translate fleeting experiences into something lasting. I’m grateful to continue this journey and to share it with all of you.
