Calissa Wins People’s Choice Award at Letchworth Open 2024!

I’m thrilled to announce that Calissa, my recent artwork, has won the People’s Choice Award at the Letchworth Open 2024! This award is incredibly special to me because it’s a recognition that comes directly from you—the viewers and supporters who felt a connection with this piece. Winning an award chosen by the people has a unique kind of warmth, as it reminds me that the work I put into my art can resonate with others in meaningful ways.

The Story Behind Calissa

Calissa is more than just an artwork; she’s a personal piece that represents themes close to my heart. She was my first independent oil piece. Seeing her recognized and appreciated by so many people is truly an honor. With this award, she’s now a double award-winning piece, which is both thrilling and surreal.

Gratitude and Reflection

To everyone who took the time to visit the Letchworth Open exhibition, cast a vote, and support my work, thank you so much. Your encouragement and interest make it possible for artists like me to grow and push boundaries, and I’m incredibly grateful. A huge thank you as well to the Letchworth Open organizers for creating a space where artists and the community can come together to celebrate creativity.

What’s Next?

Calissa will soon be making her way to her new home, and I’m already excited to plan what’s next. Winning this award has been an inspiring moment for me, and I’m looking forward to diving into future projects with even more energy and passion. Stay tuned for updates on where my art journey takes me next—and who knows, maybe I’ll see you at next year’s Letchworth Open at Broadway Art Gallery!

Thank you all again for making this milestone possible. Here’s to many more creative adventures!
