I am excited to share that I've been nominated for Best Local Artist in the North Coast Journal's 2020 Best of Humboldt contest! I am one of only three finalists.

Though I have many loyal fans, I have never received any formal recognition for my art, so this honor means a lot. Thanks to all who nominated me! 

Please show your support for me and all your favorite Humboldt County businesses by voting at northcoastjournal.com/BOH20.

Anyone is eligible to vote, and you can vote once per day until June 30. So vote early and vote often!
