Two Semi-Finalists in the Art Renewal Center International Competition

Hi friends! I’m honored to say that both my paintings “Serenity” and “Through the Leaves” made the semi-finalist list in the 18th International Art Renewal Center Salon Competition!

“The ARC Salon Competition, which is the largest and most prestigious competition in the world for realist artists painting, sculpting and drawing today with eleven categories and thousands of works competing, culminating in a live exhibition of many of the winning works.”

“Through the Leaves” made this list in the Imaginative Realism category and “Serenity” made it both in the Imaginative Realism and Figurative categories. These are the 4rd and 5th paintings of mine that have made it to this round of the competition over the years but please understand that I never take these things for granted. I’m so fortunate that they made it this far and I’m excited to see if they make the Finals in November!

"Sanctuary" Chosen as a Finalist in the International ARC Salon Competition!

I am super excited to say that my painting Sanctuary” has been chosen as a finalist in the 17th International ARC Salon Competition!
Last year I obsessed over making this painting for more than three months hoping that someone would appreciate every little detail like I did and so it’s really nice seeing this painting get some recognition!

There were over 5,000 entries in the salon this year from 87 countries and approximately 24%, 1,226 works were selected as finalists.
This is such a big international competition and I’ll be anxiously awaiting the announcement of the winners on January 7th 2025!
