Honored: 2026 NJ State Council Fellowship

It’s been a while since I’ve written on this blog—almost a year now, which seems to have passed in the blink of an eye. I suppose that’s what happens when you don’t pause to reflect, when you get caught up in the work and the constant movement of the present.

Nonetheless, I wanted to share how deeply grateful I am to have been selected as a 2026 New Jersey State Council on the Arts Individual Artist Fellowship recipient. This year, more than 800 eligible applications were submitted, and I’m incredibly honored to have been chosen among the talented artists across the state.

I also want to thank the magazines and publishers who have featured my work, including The ArtistWife, The Yale Institute of Sacred Music/Yale Divinity School, letters journal, Bold Journey, Gulf Stream Literary Magazine, and Up the Staircase Magazine. Your support truly means a great deal.
