I undertook the #ArtInTheStreetsOf project when I was approached through Instagram by Austrian artist Kathrin Ferner-Wenzl, who founded the project in June 2020. I began exhibiting my work from 4.February 2021 and work as the main representative for Berlin, Germany. I choose various locations around the city to publicly showcase my work, abiding to strict Covid-19 guidelines. With galleries closed due to lockdown, being part of this project is a great way to use nature as an exhibiting space. Each week I post my paintings with the #ArtInTheStreetsOf hashtag on Instagram. 

 

Before Covid-19, gathering information and connecting with others through digital communications has been extremely useful but not necessarily essential. Since Covid-19, the art sector is adapting and online conversion is vital in order to collaborate with other artists and practitioners and brainstorm ideas in team settings.

​

Being part of an online social media project has improved my IT skills, sped up my adaptation to online teamwork communications and enhanced my artistic practice to a more technical medium I would not have considered before 2020. This experience collaborating with creative, like-minded individuals has immensely broadened my outlook on my art and the format of exhibiting work.
