Travis Simpkins to Create Artwork for Supreme Council 33°, NMJ in Lexington, MA

Supreme Council 33°, NMJ. Scottish Rite, Northern Masonic Jurisdiction. Art by Travis Simpkins


     It has been a busy and exciting month… I have been hired by the Supreme Council 33°, NMJ in Lexington, Massachusetts to create artwork for a special project that will be presented later this year. Obviously I can't share any images now, but I am truly honored that the Scottish Rite leadership thinks highly of my work and brought me on for this assignment.
