Travis Simpkins to Create Portraits of All Active Members of the Supreme Council, 33°, NMJ

Travis Simpkins to Create Portraits of all Active Members of the Supreme Council, 33°, NMJ


     As referenced on their website, I'm currently working on an ambitious project for the Scottish Rite, NMJ. I am tasked with creating charcoal portraits of all the Active and Emeritus members of the Supreme Council, 33°. This adds up to a series of more than 100 portraits that I'll need to create over the course of the next two years. It'll keep me busy. My previous NMJ projects include a portrait of the new Sovereign Grand Commander and a portrait series for the Necrology of Active Members at the Supreme Council's annual meeting last year, which took place in Rochester, New York.
