Sol wins ‘once in a lifetime trip’! 🐢

We are beyond thrilled for Artist Sol who has won the Darwin200 competition judged by the Doodle Boy.  You may remember us promoting the competition in November 2023.  Sol’s painting celebrates the life and discoveries of Charles Darwin and he has won a life changing experience and trip to the Galápagos Islands!

Darwin200 is a conservation initiative and they are sailing a historic tallship around the world following Charles Darwin’s voyage aboard HIMS Beagle two centuries ago.

The ship is serving as a floating lab for 200 “Young Darwin Leaders” from all over the world who are conducting experiments at the various ports Darwin visited and Sol will be flying out to meet the ship and stay onboard for a week.

We are so, so proud of Sol for working hard to continually hone and improve his artistic talents with determination and ambition.  This is an incredible opportunity for Sol and his family and we can’t wait to hear all about it!
