Eugene #4 (pictured) was selected from more than 2500 entrees to be included in the National Portrait Gallery's prestigious Outwin-Boochever Portrait Competition at the Smithsonian. The work was not only selected for the exhibition, but was also one of 7 works shortlisted for the first prize (and ended up with 3rd place). The exhibition will open in March of 2016 and will travel to 4 museums after spending a year at the National Portrait Gallery.
