Hi everyone,

This feels like shameless horn-tooting… but I’m sharing it with you because this community plays a big part in everything I create.

I forgot to mention that I was featured in International Artist Magazine in the October/November 2025 issue. They included my Camellia painting and a step-by-step breakdown of the process.

It’s always special seeing your work in print, especially alongside so many talented artists.
