We are a diverse group of artists from
around the world who value the power of art
to inspire, provoke and heal.
In some ways, our group has been about four things. Art, connection, expression and the well-being of humankind. It all began with our world situation of sheltering in place and feeling the human need of connection and of course sharing our work. From that point on we kept expanding our vision and worldwide reach.
For us, making artwork is like breathing, talking, living and loving.
We are artists from around the globe with a grand vision of virtual and in-person exhibitions. We are honoured in that our artwork has been commissioned by people all around the world. We are in galleries, museums, busiesses and private residences.
Connecting with other artists putting together this online collective has been energizing to me. Through our common goals to increase our visibility, we can be of service. Art can become a visual anchor leading people out of fear and into love and delight.

Celebrating our collective
Hear our collective voices comparing notes on the first year of International Online Art Collective. Born in the pandemic, a group of 15 artists formed a bond in March 2020. Beyond colleagues—now fast friends—we invite you to see what we’ve created individually as we make plans for upcoming group shows and collaborations.
