I’m a Finalist for Wildlife Artist of the Year 2025!

I’m thrilled to share that my yellow trumpet fish has been selected as a finalist for the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation’s Wildlife Artist of the Year 2025!

This prestigious international competition received 1,340 entries from 68 countries, and I’m deeply honoured to be selected as one of the finalists. My shortlisted piece, Trumpet Fish, will be exhibited at the Mall Galleries in London, from 9 to 13 September 2025.

Being included in this exhibition is incredibly meaningful to me, not only as an artist but as someone who deeply cares about wildlife and conservation. The David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation does inspiring work to protect endangered species and habitats around the world, and I’m honoured to contribute through my art.
