Emerging Artist Triumph!

Ahhhhhh…. I am thrilled to share that I recently participated in the local art guild spring show and came away with both first and third place in the emerging artist painting category! It was an incredible experience to have my work recognized by the judges and fellow artists! Entering the show was a nerve-wracking decision for me, as I am still relatively new to the art world and have only recently begun to share my work with a wider audience. However, I knew that pushing myself out of my comfort zone was the only way to grow as an artist and gain valuable feedback on my work.

I would love to say I spent weeks preparing, but I did not. It was a last minute decision - an “I’m going to wing it” moment. I scanned my studio for a variety of artwork that I could submit to showcase my versatility. Sometimes intuition and the gut instinct is all that is called for. I couldn’t be happier with my choices, no regrets.

When the awards were announced, I was overjoyed! Not only did I get first place, but taking home 3rd place was the cherry on top! All of this has further motivated me to continue pushing the boundaries of my creativity.

I am incredibly grateful for the support and encouragement of my friends, family and the art guild. This experience has given me the confidence to continue pursuing my passion for painting and exploring new techniques and subjects. Here’s to many more successes in the future!

Over the moon with my first-place win! 🎨✨
