I am OVER THE MOON to announce that my drawing “Peruvian Anchovies” from last year was shortlisted in the David Shepherd’s Wildlife Artist of the Year Competition and will be displayed at their exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London in September. I am incredibly grateful for the honour and excited to be a small part of such a meaningful foundation. Thank you!
