NSMA’s 2026 International Painting Competition
May 13th–August 16th, 2016
I’m happy to share that my painting “De Profundis” has been selected as a finalist in the 2026 International Painting Competition at the New Salem Museum and Academy of Fine Art! The painting will be included in the finalists’ exhibition at the museum from May through August 2026. I hope you can stop by and see the show.
It’s such an honor to have my piece included alongside the incredible paintings of the other finalists. Many thanks to the selection committee for the recognition.
