I’m excited to share that I was selected for the 2025 Columbus Arts Festival Emerging Artist Program! Being part of this prestigious program was an incredible opportunity to grow as an artist and connect with a supportive creative community.

The program offered mentorship, resources, and a platform to showcase my work alongside some of the region’s most talented artists. Preparing for and exhibiting at the festival was both inspiring and energizing—it pushed me to refine my craft and share my vision with thousands of festivalgoers.

I’m deeply grateful to the selection committee and the festival organizers for the chance to be part of such a vibrant celebration of the arts. Thank you as well to everyone who stopped by my booth, offered kind words, or supported my work—it truly meant the world.

This experience has left a lasting impact on my creative path, and I’m excited for what’s ahead.
