2023 Achievement
Most notable achievement: Being selected for Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year show and getting to the final 3 on my episode, only to be beaten by the eventual overall winner. Lesson learnt: to be more intentional with my art practice as a whole which has also helped my mindset with other aspects of life. Being intentional also includes the deliberate act of easing up on harshly judging myself in order to regain joy in my work.
2024 Goals
Aims for 2024: I expect to see my art practice become more productive as my progress to alter my mindset continues and my energy and efforts are focussed on a more settled process. Gallery representation would be nice and I’ll be submitting to the Royal Academy of Portrait Painters again.
