At this years (2024) Prix de West award dinner, I had the pleasure of being announced as one of four newly invited artists for 2025. If you happened to see me just a few moments later, you will have noticed a couple of tears that I did my best to hide. To hear my name in that hall was a very, very special moment for me. Thank you National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum for being such an inspiration and for the support you extend to your artists. That you believe in me, is the highlight of a lifetime.

My congrats to Tony Hochtetler, Denis Milhomme and Joshua Tobey for also being invited on behalf of The National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum — I am so happy to be joining you at Prix de West 2025.
