Yesterday I was pleased to find that my work "Man with Infant", won the honor of an Award of Excellence at the 2011 West Virginia Juried Exhibition. I am extremely proud and would like to thank the jurors Ryan Grover and Philip Jackson as well as the WV Cultural Center for the opportunities they provide the WV artists. This is a Purchase Award, so my piece will now be a permanent part of the WV state collection - an honor I now share with my wife Lauren Adams. Congratulations to all the other winners and participants.

"Man with Infant", latex paint, oil pastel, graphite and photo transfers on canvas, 26"x30", 2010.
