5th Edition Finalist Anne-Marie Zanetti
“ Gaining exposure in the art world is difficult so when your work appears in a wonderful magazine like the American Art Collector unexpectedly (I didn’t realise for two months) along with a two-page advertisement, it’s all the more exciting! The article featured in June issue 200 and references the four paintings from my Reminisce series currently at REHS Contemporary Gallery in New York”
