Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is extremely pleased to announce that Patricia Cannon has been named as the Gallery’s new featured artist and she will now be promoted by the gallery for the next 14 days in the gallery’s Artist Showcase.
Patricia is an award-winning photographer and poet based in California, USA. She was selected as 1 of the top twelve finalists in the gallery’s 33rd Solo Art Exhibition Series. The placement in this competition qualified her work to be showcased in this feature.
Her Artist Showcase feature will be promoted to hundreds of major news outlets. In addition, the gallery will also be featuring and promoting her artwork in the gallery’s various social media networks for further exposure.
Below are Patricia’s Artist Biography, Artist Statement and 5 of her black and white digital photographs submitted to this competition.
Patricia Cannon was a registered nurse at UCSF for over twenty years, working in critical care—from cardiac and neuro-intensive care to hematology-oncology and research. Her professional journey is as diverse and passionate as her artistic pursuits. Outside the hospital, Patricia finds comfort and creative expression in her photography and poetry. Her work captures the subtle dance between life’s light and shadows, touching on themes of nature, love, and loss.
As a poet and photographer, Patricia's artistry is deeply connected to her life experiences and faith. Her images and words invite viewers and readers to explore emotional landscapes, offering a gentle yet powerful glimpse into moments of beauty and reflection. Patricia's work has been featured in numerous books and magazines. "Each piece, be it a photograph or a poem, reflects her commitment to capturing life's fleeting moments and honoring them with both heart and skill. Her ability to turn personal experiences into universal truths, combined with the emotional depth of her photography, makes Patricia Cannon a distinctive voice in both the art and literary worlds. Through her lens and pen, she illuminates the beauty and fragility of the human experience." — Barbagelata Art Foundation.
Photography and poetry are closely linked in my art. Whether I am capturing an object or highlighting the distinct features of a human face, I occasionally experience a deep spiritual moment when the “veil lifts,” and I catch a glimpse of something new.
