Portrait by Travis Simpkins Presented at Scottish Rite Valley of Juneau, Alaska

Scottish Rite Valley of Juneau, Alaska. Portrait by Travis Simpkins Presented


     Earlier this month, I was commissioned by the Scottish Rite Valley of Juneau, Alaska to create a portrait of Edward Nygard 33°, a member who had passed away. The portrait was presented there in Alaska this weekend during the Valley's 106th reunion, an event which was dedicated to Illl. Bro. Nygard. It was also the first reunion to be hosted in their newly constructed building. Thanks to Doug Harris for sharing the photo. It is always meaningful when I see that my art played some part on such an important day.
