In September 2023, I was interviewed by People magazine on the exciting news that Dr Biden had chosen some of my pieces to hang in her newest installation in the White House (linked is the article and the official White House publication)

I had the honor of showing some of my pieces to Dr. Biden and the Secretary of Education, Dr. Cordona. They both have a deep appreciation for art, and it amazing to get to get to display my favorite hobby on such an occasion.
