Thank You for Supporting My People’s Artist Journey
The People’s Artist competition has come to an end for me, and I wanted to take a moment to say thank you.
While I didn’t make the Top 5, I did finish in 7th place in my group, and I am incredibly proud of that accomplishment.
More importantly, I am grateful for the support I received throughout the competition. Every vote, share, comment, email, and encouraging message meant more than you know. It was truly humbling to see so many friends, family members, students, fellow artists, and members of the Paint Pour Academy community rally behind me.
This experience reminded me that art is about so much more than contests and rankings. It’s about connection. It’s about creativity. It’s about sharing something you love with others and finding people who connect with it.
One of the greatest gifts of this journey was being reminded of the amazing community that surrounds me. I am incredibly fortunate to teach art, create art, and share that creative journey with all of you.
While this chapter is ending, the creative journey continues. I have new projects, new art, new videos, and new adventures ahead, and I’m excited to see where they lead.
Thank you for being part of this experience and for cheering me on along the way.
With gratitude,
Erika Tenney
