Below are Tom’s Artist Biography, Artist Statement and 5 artworks that were submitted to this competition.
Tom is a self-taught artist, who began painting while recovering from a mountain biking accident that left him in a coma. He began with the Bob Ross technique, but came to broaden his technique to suit his desire for different subject matter. His style has been described by one gallerist as "stylized realism". Tom's work has won several awards, and he has had two individual shows of his work - both featuring his railroad paintings.
Art is an attempt to express the inexpressible, and at its best provokes a sense of wonder, whether through its technique, composition, subject matter, use of color, or detail. All art is a reflection of choices made by the artist – both submissions and omissions – and the best art is the expression of a personal truth, describing the world the artist promotes. As Bob Dylan said, “Art is the perpetual motion of illusion. The highest purpose of art is to inspire. What else can you do? What else can you do for anyone but inspire them.”
I have blended my passion for art with my lifelong love of trains. Oil is my primary medium as much of my initial art instruction was from TV art shows on PBS. The slower drying times also compels me to be more deliberate, giving me the time to assess a work more thoroughly as it progresses.
My focus on trains stems from the fact that both of my grandfathers worked for (competing) railroads in Chicago, and I grew up in his grandparents’ house along the tracks of the Baltimore & Ohio Chicago Terminal Railroad, for which my grandfather worked. Railroads also offer the opportunity to include history, diverse landscapes and cityscapes, and bold colors into my works.

In recent years, I have been researching how many styles and features the streetscape presents. Why? Because I travel between these cities and towns in my daily life. I found that light and shadow present different styles in different times and spaces in the city. After the epidemic, people are still working hard to live, which moved me to record it with a brush

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is extremely pleased to announce that Gabiko IoMo 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.
Gabiko is an award-winning artist based in Canada. Gabiko was selected as 1 of the top twelve finalists in the gallery’s 25th Solo Art Exhibition Series. The placement in this competition qualified her art to be showcased in this feature.
Gabiko’s Artist Showcase feature will be promoted to hundreds of major news outlets, with inclusion on Google News & Bing News. 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 Gabiko’s Artist Biography, Artist Statement and 5 artworks that were submitted to this competition.
Skillful in various crafts, Gabiko IoMo — European blend naturalized in Canada (Montreal) — has always practiced art in one form or another. In the last decade, she become a digital painter and built a very consistent portfolio. Her unique technique and style have been rewarded with prizes in numerous art competitions. She participated in an international group exhibition and her paintings are in private collections.
Gabiko paints, by small patches, on black background — sometimes covering it completely, other times creating outbursts of unexpected meanings — where the gloss or roughness of the surfaces bring a touch of realism to the chaos of the abstract. Using only basic old software (and the mouse to draw), she’s playing with volumes and lights, keeping forms in balance and hues in harmony. Everything around — shadows, sounds, perfumes, textures — can inspire her and joyful, vibrating spots of life (ready to be used) fill her insomnia when it is dark outside.
The artworks of Gabiko IoMo — invariably square — are fashioned with exuberant colours and some of them may have a militant message or a hint of irony.
I believe art is essential for humanity: it reflects the mind, the soul and the philosophy of each nation and its expression punctuates the history.
I like everything related to creative activities requiring genius, but what make me vibrate are images. Being familiar with computers, it was easy for me to pass from the art crafts that I practiced for long years to the revolutionary digital art — the more so as when I paint, everything else disappears. It’s only me, the mouse and my subject.
And the subject, I can understand it deeply (since it imposes itself to my feelings). I know exactly how it will look once transferred on canvas: I "see" the whole as if it were ready and framed. It only remains to materialize what had germinated in the imagination. I work nonstop (always following a plan) and my creations are full of colour and joy — strong, sometimes hyperbolic, always honest. It is possible that my art will not please the public, but it will not go unnoticed.

Gwynneth Green is an artist who uses the camera and the written word. A published poet with fifteen poetic publications and has been featured in exhibitions in the mid-Atlantic region as well as virtual ones. She has participated in ekphrastic collaborations with visual artists. Approaching the synergic nature of the word and the image fascinated her, her piqued interest encouraging her to wed her poems with her photographs. Her careful use of color and focus mimics imaginative prose as it guides viewers through the scene.
Initially, when I take photos there is no particular intention. It is upon review on the computer, when the creativity begins. I disassemble and restructure the image using a variety of techniques. At times using more than one photo, working to create a captivating mood. During the process is when the poetry ignites. Inspired by the underlying feeling of the photo, an expression is formed as a haiku, 6-word poem or short poetic flow. These words are subtly melded into the photo allowing the viewer a moment of discovery when the narrative reveals itself, in the photo/musings.

Brian Binder is mostly a self-taught artist. He was raised in Colorado. In Colorado, you are surrounded by many different environments and animals. From plains to mountains and, yes, even sand dunes Brian’s focus is on wildlife and domestic animals in interesting and beautiful settings. He spends hours creating the soul of the animal through its eyes. The eyes are what gives the drawing it's heart and soul.
Brian usually sees the animal in one habitat and then draws them in a different environment that he thinks they would prefer to be in. Sometimes it is a shock what a drawing turn into because it is opposite of what he thought it might when he started. Brian only uses pencil and color pencils to create his works. He does not use solvents for blending in order not to damage the paper.
Brian hope everyone who views his work feel the enjoyment he gets out creating each piece.
In my artwork, I try to capture the spirit of the animal. I like to invoke humor, deep thought, or positive vibes through the animal to the viewer.

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is extremely pleased to announce that Elizabeth Darlington 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.
Elizabeth is an award-winning artist based in the United Kingdom. Elizabeth was selected as 1 of the top twelve finalists in the gallery’s 25th Solo Art Exhibition Series. The placement in this competition qualified her art to be showcased in this feature.
Elizabeth’s Artist Showcase feature will be promoted to hundreds of major news outlets, with inclusion on Google News & Bing News. 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 Elizabeth’s Artist Biography, Artist Statement and 5 artworks that were submitted to this competition.
Elizabeth Darlington grew up in a rural environment where clear night skies prompted her fascination in space. Her natural inquisitiveness grew to explore how all things in the Universe are connected. The natural world was also a significant part of her development; her appreciation of this was an important part of her life.
As a teenager, Salvador Dali was her favourite artist, but studying the Great Masters at A Level and for her Degree, she became particularly interested in the hidden symbology and use of geometry by Leonardo da Vinci. Another significant influence was Turner and his revolutionary use of light.
Elizabeth rarely paints in full light, preferring to lead the viewer from the shadows into the work where the focal point is illuminated. Since early childhood, Elizabeth has experienced ‘visions’. These experiences have imprinted her mind with extraordinary colours, feelings and energy.
In 2014, she opened her own gallery, but after just 12 months, she had to close the doors to overcome cancer. Elizabeth has had near-death-experiences several times during her life. One time was during childbirth, when both she and her daughter nearly died. The most recent was in August 2021, when she suffered severe Covid complications, pneumonia and sepsis. During her time in ICU, she experienced many powerful visions assisting with her healing. She has endeavoured to portray these in her artwork since her remarkable recovery.
Each picture is providing the connectivity with nature, each other, and the wider Universe. Over the years, I have experimented with a variety of media including soft pastels, oil pastels, acrylic paints and inks, oils, encaustic wax, poured acrylic medium and texture gels. One of my favourite materials to work with is gold leaf – this is representative that all gold found on Earth (and in her paintings) was once an exploded star, billions of years ago.
I’ve developed my own painting medium by combining acrylic inks with other acrylic based substances, enabling her to vary the viscosity and texture. Words – which I believe have energy - are very much an inherent part of my creations. Many paintings start with words embedded onto the canvas, before I start painting over them. These words are symbolic and emotive. They are never seen as part of the finished work, but their energy becomes part of the work as they are the intentions and emotions felt during the initial creative process.
Each painting is intended to prompt an emotional feeling in the viewer, according to their own mental/emotional state. They are designed to remind the viewer of forgotten aspects of themselves, and open doors in their minds to everything that they need, right there within themselves.

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is extremely pleased to announce that Anne Gudrun 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.
Anne is an award-winning artist based in North Vancouver, Canada. Anne was selected as 1 of the top twelve finalists in the gallery’s 24th Solo Art Exhibition Series. The placement in this competition qualified her art to be showcased in this feature.
Anne’s Artist Showcase feature will be promoted to hundreds of major news outlets, with inclusion on Google News & Bing News. 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 Anne’s Artist Biography, Artist Statement and 5 artworks that were submitted to this competition.
Canadian artist Anne Gudrun grew up in North Vancouver, British Columbia, where she was surrounded by the forest, mountains and ocean and could spend hours day-dreaming out her bedroom window, thinking and just observing life. Her visions and observations naturally made their way onto paper as intricate drawings of abstract form and colours, or life-like sketches of people and nature. She received her first oil paint set when she was nine years old and promptly taught herself to paint. Throughout her school years she excelled in the arts, and at 18 she set off to her ancestral home of Norway, spending a year at a small island art school. It was here that her love for the northern landscape and the beauty of nature took root.
Primarily a self-taught artist, Anne has studied locally with Canadian artists, as well as attending workshops and classes at Emily Carr College of Art and Design. Anne's unique style provides an uplifting and colourful statement piece and her work has been chosen for public art displays, receiving awards and special recognition in select online and international art competitions.
She lives in North Vancouver where she paints and creates from her studio, spending her summers in Norway and travelling. Her paintings reflect the beauty of nature with bold vibrancy and an innate sense of design.
I’ve always intuitively observed how lines, colours and shapes define the essence and personality of things, so when I paint I begin by breaking down the complete picture into its abstract forms. Whether creating the figurative representation of a person, or the abstraction of a forest or flower, I play with the interactions between the shapes and colours on canvas, each colour and shape becoming its own character and contributing to the work as a whole.
When looking closely at the details of the painting it appears abstract, but standing back you see the complete picture… The apparent random chaos of nature becoming form... The real from the abstract.
As a young girl I read stories of fairy-tale forests, trolls, myths and magic. It’s a world of wonder, adventure, mystery and transformation and it’s that world I want to re-create through my art, opening a doorway to a more brilliant reality.
Anne’s art can be found on her website.

She began making images of the American west in hopes of preserving the history, the culture, and the dreams that shaped the west.

My methods and techniques are largely self-taught. I am deeply inspired by the work of Ansel Adams and Art Wolfe. My work is also derived from my imagination. My greatest satisfaction comes from taking the file from camera to computer to develop composites. The results reflect my personal feelings, beliefs, events, culture, etc. that are best expressed through artistic interpretations. My work is delivered in an array of styles that arc between realism, passionately abstract and doggedly figurative. *This still life series is dedicated to the Native American culture.

Robert Obier is an award winning artist. His work as an architect/designer/illustrator has been featured in numerous exhibitions, magazines and web articles. His high tech sculptural designs have appeared on network television and were selected for a “location shoot” in a major motion picture.
His range of eclectic influences include the organic architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, the explorations of geometry in nature by Andy Goldsworthy and the theatrical creations of Industrial Light and Magic for a time long ago in a galaxy far, far away.
His work explores the intersections and obscures the boundaries between architecture, industrial design and art. Each piece is as much a realization of an abstract design concept as it is a unique work of three-dimensional art. The fabrication combines the "tried and true" techniques of old-fashioned craftsmanship with today's most advanced rapid prototyping technologies such as CAD modeling, 3-D printing, and CNC fabrication. From creation through completion the dichotomy of ‘handmade’ and ‘computer generated’ informs the development and execution of the work.
Robert was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana where he now resides. He received a Bachelor of Architecture Degree from LSU in 1981 and a Master of Science Degree in Industrial Design from Art Center College of Design in 2007.
Design is the art of storytelling. Through stories we give meaning and context to this journey we all share. My cause is to create an art that inspires meaning and speaks of some untold story -some distant time - some mysterious place - some unknown tomorrow. This is what I call, “the stuff of dreams”.
A strict and systematic organization of components define the work and reveal a discipline that is unmistakably architectural. At first glance, the geometric forms seem strangely familiar as if seen somewhere before - but where - when? Upon closer examination - perhaps the designs are remnants of some distant and secrete civilization or even an, as of yet, unknown and mysterious future. The forms are intentionally abstract giving shape to a brief moment of design inspiration. Schematic concepts emerge as built objects without the practical or functional restrictions that necessarily accompany the development of an architectural or industrial product.
The final sculpted artwork is derived from an initial “thumbnail” sketch. The preliminary shapes are explored and refined through multiple iterations as 3-d computer models. These varied iterations may serve to refine an idea or may be individually produced as a limited series of sculptural works.
Particular finish applications such as weathering and rust recall an ‘earlier time’ in the story of certain pieces - the scars of a past life. Nevertheless, the work has a timeless quality - seeming to exist in the past, the present and the future - simultaneously.

Below are Neal’s Artist Biography, Artist Statement and 5 artworks that were submitted to this competition.
Neal Smith Willow is an artist working in oils, pastels and watercolors in a representational manner. He paints from a narrative perspective and from his experiences.
Neal admires the vision of the New York Ashcan movement at the beginning of the 20th century. A revolution in American art, it produced an unprecedented vision of the working people in Manhattan as well as the pastimes of the middle class. The Ashcan artists did not stay cutting edge for long, as the wave of abstract art swept away their American-bred realism.
Today the genre of painterly realism, as in the past, invariably includes the environments that sensually surrounded the artist with the new. Heal searches for those moments as he moves about, storing them to accommodate his muse. He wants to be an interpreter, through painterly depictions of memory for impressions of place. This may open a window that invites the viewer to glimpse a moment that was, now washed away by the current of time.
Neal’s paintings have become a distilled narrative attempting to connect to the viewer that sense of a moment and its inevitable passing. Doing the work makes him feel like a child involved with a toy and a man loyal to his dreams.
The premise of my work of is to record my experiences - filtered through sight, and touch - to create images of fleeting moments so that they may remain. Painterly realism strikes me as the best vehicle for that effort, the kind offered by Edgar Degas, Thomas Eakins, and Singer Sargent among many. For the content of my work, I seek out the individuals and places of my times to put to canvas.

My paintings are mythical, deeply rooted in a place of spirituality, capturing the symbolism of animals and light. Distinguished by bold marks and contrast, as well as jewel-toned colors and the appearance of light, many of my works look as if they are glowing from within. The boldness of my process combined with the use of symbolic imagery and the juicy richness of the oil paint create art that exudes spirituality and the ethereal.
I want my artwork to inspire wonder and help you connect with what makes you powerful. If my paintings can illuminate the passions and destiny that stir within you, I have fulfilled my purpose. You have value and worth and your life has profound significance. May my artwork remind you that you are a magical being who can change the world.
