I am honored to be named as one of this year’s 20 Under 40 Leadership Award recipients. The award recognizes individuals under 40 who demonstrate leadership in the community and professionally. I was unable to attend the ceremony and was completely shocked to learn that I was named. I share this honor with Toledo’s art community, and I’m proud that the committee selected an artist among the group of winners. Thank you to Sarah Skow for nominating me and to the jury for selecting me, just in time to make the “under 40” cut.
I couldn’t imagine a more fitting image of me accepting my award 😂
