I’m deeply honored to announce that my painting “Pier to Forever”, 20” x 24”, oil on Belgian linen panel has been selected for the International Guild of Realism’s 20th Annual Juried Exhibition at Principle Gallery Charleston in beautiful Charleston, South Carolina, opening June 5, 2026.

To exhibit alongside so many accomplished realist artists from around the world at one of the premier galleries in the United States is truly meaningful to me. Principle Gallery Charleston is renowned for its museum-quality exhibitions and commitment to Contemporary and Classical Realism, making this opportunity especially exciting.

This milestone 20th Annual Exhibition promises to be the largest IGOR gallery show to date, bringing together artists from countries including Canada, Germany, England, Norway, South Africa, Mexico, Azerbaijan, El Salvador, and across the United States.

The exhibition will run June 5–30, 2026, in the heart of Charleston’s historic arts district — one of the nation’s top art markets and home to more than 50 galleries.

Thank you to the jurors and to the International Guild of Realism for this incredible honor. I’m grateful to be included in such an inspiring exhibition and look forward to sharing more soon.

Today at @pleinairconvention there were so many inspiring subjects to paint at the College of the Ozarks.
And I chose to paint a graceful swan gliding across the lake. We were so fortunate, it was literally posing for us!
Painting alongside so many plein air artists, sharing our insights and talking about our experiences is truly special! #pace2026 #pace26

I’m grateful to be part of this journey. Being included in a publication of this caliber—alongside such compelling artists—is a meaningful milestone in my practice. Recognition in international competitions is never guaranteed, which makes moments like this all the more significant. They renew my focus in the studio and reaffirm the direction of my work.

Honored to be named a FINALIST.

Congratulations to fellow artists Ruben Fernandez Pereira and Carla Grace, whose work will be exhibited at Sotheby’s New York (Madison Avenue) 17th/18th International ARC Salon Exhibition from July 17–27, 2026, with an opening reception on July 18 from 11am–3pm.

If you’re in New York, I encourage you to experience this exhibition—an inspiring presentation of contemporary work shaped by an international and collaborative spirit.

Congratulations to all the semi-finalists, finalists, and award recipients.

Apocalypse. 48 x 36. Just before the outbreak of Covid in the US my cousin and I did a trip to Italy. Unbeknown to us and into a lot of people while we were in Milan, they were getting hit hard by Covid. We did a quick day trip to Milan to see the “Last Supper” and then travelled up to Lake Como to see Bellagio.My favourite part of that trip was seeing the Roman forum at night but walking through the deserted streets of Bellagio was pretty amazing as well we didn’t realise that in January everything was closed down but it was such a serene place even the town across the lake where we took the ferry looked like there is an apocalypse. There were a few people on the streets and many shops were closed. One day I will go back and do a long long restful vacation in these town surrounding the lake. It took me six years to finally work on this painting but it was such a beautiful site walking down the street and having this beautiful mountain bathed in light and framed with the buildings.Available on Anntannousart.com #landscape #oilpaint #painting #oiloncanvas #lakecomo
