In August of this year, he has been selected to receive a very competitive and coveted Fulbright Fellowship in the Arts, to Hungary.  While there, he will be based in Budapest and will:  work with art students at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts;  create a series of prints alongside master printers at the Art Union of Hungarian Etchers and Lithographers;  and work at Printa, a screen-printing workshop and gallery. He will also have a solo show at Galleria IX in Budapest in May 2014 to showcase the project and will be establishing an on-going printmaking exchange between students at the Hungarian University of Fine Arts and at UW-Madison. 

Heartiest congratulations!
