Paper Blossoms (2024) Mixed Media on Canvas 60 x 60cm

I’m incredibly excited to share some wonderful news — I’ve been selected as one of the finalists for the Art Collide Summer Exhibition 2025!

This year’s exhibition brings together a vibrant and diverse group of contemporary artists from around the world. Some works are deeply thought-provoking, while others captivate through their striking aesthetics. I feel truly honoured to have my piece included alongside such powerful and inspiring creations. The exhibition will be hosted online, making it accessible to viewers everywhere — and I’m grateful to have confirmed my spot in this exciting global showcase.

Art Collide stood out to me for its commitment to supporting emerging and mid-career artists, offering a platform where bold, innovative, and meaningful work can truly shine. Being selected as a finalist is both humbling and deeply motivating.

The piece I’ve submitted was born from a dream — one that arrived with clarity and conviction. It reminded me to keep going, to keep creating, and to hold firm to my artistic path — even in the face of doubt, discouragement, and the ever-competitive nature of the industry. That dream became a turning point, urging me to take a leap of faith, chase what felt uncertain, and find courage in the unknown.

What I love about Art Collide is not just the visibility it gives to artists, but also its mission. As an innovative arts organization, Art Collide hosts online competitions and awards exhibitions that celebrate creativity across the globe. By working online, they eliminate the high overhead costs of traditional galleries — and instead, channel those resources directly into supporting artists through awards and recognition. Their belief in empowering artists and provoking meaningful dialogue through art is something I truly resonate with.

For now, I want to express my heartfelt thanks to the incredible team at Art Collide for this opportunity — and to everyone who continues to support me and my creative journey.

Stay tuned for more updates — and here’s to a summer of connection, creativity, and a sizzling encounter with the unexpected wonders life has in store!
