I was honored and privileged to have served as Casey Grenier’s advisor in the @svamfaillustration program this year. Casey’s master’s thesis featured an extraordinary series of life-size figurative paintings entitled “Hides”. The work is on exhibit at the SVA Chelsea Gallery (May 11-22, 2026) along with the entire graduating class. @caseygrenierart @svanyc @sva_galleries @riccardovecchio70 @david_sandlin @viktor_koen #proudadvisor

Story time came to life at PS 233 yesterday! 📚✨ Our 3K–2nd grade students loved meeting author, Stephen Savage @savageillustrator and hearing readings of Supertruck and Rescue Cat. The interactive drawing activity with student volunteers was definitely a highlight! 🎨👏 Thank you to the Brooklyn Public Library @bklynlibrary for providing such a fun and inspiring experience for our young readers. ❤️ #ps233langstonhughes #AuthorVisit #ReadingIsFun #BrooklynPublicLibrary
