I am so excited to announce that two of my paintings were included out of 5,000 entries selected as semi-finalists in the 17th Annual International ARC (Art Renewal Center) Salon Competition. The ARC is one of the most prestigious realist art competitions in the US and perhaps the world, it is such an honor to be selected as a semi-finalist. One of my paintings selected is “George” in the portraiture category.
​
This year, the semi-finalists will not only be displayed on the ARC website, but also be included in the Lunar Codex. The Lunar Codex is a set of time capsules launched on three NASA-related missions, including the work of 7,000 creatives. It will be the first significant placement of contemporary arts on the Moon in 50 years.
