The Hudson River Fellowship

Frederic Edwin Church

I am very happy to be accepted into this year's Hudson River Fellowship. Ever since its creation five years ago I wanted to be apart of what these great artist have been doing. It has been only in the last two year that I have been taking landscape more seriously. The only training I have had is a brief weekend workshop with Marc Dalessio back when I was living in Florence, Italy.

Much of my future goals as a painter is to incorporate all of the major aspects on painting on to one canvas. I would like to place my figures or portrait in out side settings so joining this fellowship is a step in the right direction.

I will try me best to update this blog with my studies, paintings and all that I have learned during that month. So keep checking back. Thanks!!!
