Bombay Sapphire Gin & Scope Art Show Feature Vakseen

In July Bombay Sapphire Gin selected me as their featured artist and featured my Eyes Wide painting for their Artisan Series. It’s always a blessing to gain recognition, especially when it’s from a major brand!

I’m definitely looking forward to winning a showing at Scope Miami Beach in December! […]
