In July 2024, I had a wonderful opportunity to travel to North Macedonia as part of the U.S. Speaker and Specialist Program in partnership with the U.S. Embassy in North Macedonia. My trip began in the capital of Skopje, where I conducted a workshop at the Embassy with staff and local artists. I then continued on to the village of Vevchani, where I conducted caricature workshops with local youth ranging from ages 3-20. There, I was also part of an international artist colony hosted at Via Ignatia. During this time, I also gave a talk on my work at American Corner in the town of Struga.

The second week, I traveled to Bitola, where I gave an artist talk to the public and conducted a series of caricature workshops with youth ages 8-15 at American Corner Bitola. It was a wonderful two weeks of cultural exchange and I’m so grateful to have had this opportunity to share the art of caricature with young, aspiring artists.

On the last day of the FACES festival held in May 2024 in Pordenone, Italy, we got to draw the public. Here are some of my favorite live drawings from that day.

This past May (2024), I had the privilege of attending the FACES! International Caricature Experience in Pordenone, Italy, hosted at the PAFF! International Museum of Comic Art. It was three fun filled days of speakers and drawing in preparation for an exhibit currently on display at the museum, Very Italian: Beyond Stereotypes. Participants were tasked to draw caricatures of famous Italians to fit this them. Below are the five drawings I completed during my time there, each inspired by different elements (architectural, food or otherwise) that I spotted during my travels.

Happy to have placed first for the April 2024 contest!

Another year, another Caricature Resolution complete!

I was thrilled to be voted the winner of the January 10th ISCA Members FB contest for my drawing of Kev Doughty.

Russ White from MPLSART.com interviewed me about all things caricature. Check out the full article here!

ISCAcon32 recently took place in Los Angeles, CA from November 12-17th at the Sheraton Gateway. I’m pleased to announce that I took home 3rd place in the “Best Studio Piece” competition for my drawing of Paul Rubens as Pee Wee Herman!

Additionally, I became the President of the International Society of Caricature Artists, a great honor for me. Thank you to everyone for their encouragement and support!
