Zofia says, 'Thank you' and 'Awesome!' This award-winning painting, 'Irish Blessing,' will be featured in Zofia's upcoming exhibit, 'Recollections in Bloom' at the Pompano Beach Cultural Center, this April.

For the second year in a row, we are proud to announce Zofia Amie Perez as ANI’s Judge’s Choice Artist for the Adult Category in our 2025–2026 Celebration of Creation.

This year, Zofia’s artwork Irish Blessing captured hearts and stood out among an extraordinary field of artists. Inspired by an original photograph of a Cherry Blossom tree in full bloom at St. Stephen’s Green Park in Dublin, the piece is created with oil pastel on black paper. Vibrant pink blossoms emerge against the dark background, grounded by lush green grass and a winding pathway. The result is tranquil, luminous, and deeply moving.

Marvin D. Rouse, artist and judge for ANI’s 5th Annual Celebration of Creation, shared why Irish Blessing rose to the top:
“Irish Blessing is one of my favorites in the entire competition. From the lighting and color choices to the texture and originality, the ex*****on of balance and theme is superb. The emotional impact of the composition truly moved me; it provides the same uplifting feeling I experience when I am in nature. Creatively, this was beautifully executed, hitting every mark to establish it as a true masterpiece.”

Zofia is a multisensory artist, entrepreneur, brand ambassador, and self-advocate living in South Florida. Her work is influenced by Florida’s colorful, tropical landscape and is known for its texture, natural elements, and expressive depth. She is the creator of Sensory Wands, hosts Zofia’s Sensory Spin on YouTube with her sister, and continues to expand her artistic impact through exhibitions and community engagement.

Being recognized as ANI’s Judge’s Choice artist for the second year in a row is a testament to Zofia’s artistic growth, consistency, and powerful voice. She reminds us that everyone tells their story differently, and hers blooms through creativity, innovation, and joy.

Congratulations, Zofia. We are honored to celebrate you and Irish Blessing.
