Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is thrilled to announce that Julie Denoncourt has been named one of four winning artists in the gallery's 34th "Solo Art Series" Art Competition. Julie will receive a month-long solo exhibition and will be featured on the gallery's front page, its YouTube channel, and in the Solo Art Series Archive.
Julie is an award-winning artist based in Ontario, Canada, and the gallery will promote her exhibition through an extensive public relations campaign. This includes press releases sent out to hundreds of major news outlets, along with distribution across LST's social media channels. Her work will also appear on the gallery's YouTube channel and on an event postcard.
The Solo Art Series runs monthly, spotlighting established artists who already have a substantial body of work behind them. To enter, artists had to submit three things: their artwork, an artist biography, and an artist statement. These were reviewed and judged to select the artists who would each receive their own month-long solo exhibition.
Below, you'll find Julie's artist biography and artist statement, along with five of her acrylic on canvas paintings. We invite you to read about her background and spend some time with her work.
Julie Denoncourt is a Gatineau‑based painter whose contemporary figurative practice centers on light, emotional presence, and the precision of gesture. An internationally awarded artist, she exhibits annually and pursues a pictorial exploration focused on the intimacy of bodies, the vibration of color, and the silent narratives carried by faces. Alongside her personal work, she teaches drawing and painting to youth and adults, maintaining a clear boundary between her artistic practice and her pedagogical approach. Her work investigates how textures, shadows, and fragments of everyday life reveal human depth.
My work explores the quiet, intimate spaces where human presence reveals itself through light, gesture, and emotional resonance. In my paintings, I focus on the subtle narratives carried by bodies and faces — those fleeting moments where vulnerability, strength, and interiority coexist. I am drawn to the tension between precision and softness, to the way textures, shadows, and fragments of daily life can expose something deeper about who we are. Through contemporary figurative painting, I seek to honor these moments of stillness and connection. Each piece becomes a way to slow down time, to observe the delicate choreography of relationships, and to reveal the depth that lies beneath the surface of the ordinary.

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is proud to announce that George Salter has been selected as one of four winners in Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery's 33rd "Solo Art Series" Art Competition. George’s month-long solo art exhibition will be featured on the gallery’s website, YouTube channel, and in the “Solo Art Series” Archive.
George’s is an internationally acclaimed, award-winning photographer based in Rhode Island, USA. The gallery will now promote him with an extensive online public relations campaign.

George's work will also be showcased on the gallery's YouTube channel, and promoted via an event postcard, award ribbon, and certificate.
The “Solo Art Series” highlights the work of established artists, who have a body of work to showcase, through a series of online monthly solo exhibitions. Artist participants were asked to submit the following 3 components for the “Solo Art Series” competition: 1. Their art. 2. Their artist biography. 3. Their artist statement. A careful evaluation of the submissions led to the selection of four artists for month-long solo shows, ensuring a diverse range of artistic styles and approaches would be featured.
Presented below are George's artist biography and statement, together with 25 of his Omo Valley Collection photographs. All of the subjects are all members of the Suri Tribe. We encourage you to peruse his information and admire his art.
Over the past 45 years, George Salter's photography has added new layers to a lifelong fascination with beauty in unexpected places. Early in his career, light and shadow became a central preoccupation, with beauty revealing itself in the geometry and colors of architecture and marine vessels. Drawn to the lines, angles, and textures of architectural features, Salter transformed these details into subjects in their own right, elevating them beyond their role as fragments of a larger structure. This sensibility culminated in his first solo show, Architectural Abstracts, at the EG Photo Gallery in 1992.
Alongside this architectural work, Salter cultivated a parallel love for street photography, an art form long defined by capturing candid moments from a careful, unnoticed distance. That approach shifted fundamentally in 2024, during a trip to Bhutan, where photographing people without their permission is socially unacceptable. There, he began moving physically closer to his subjects — asking permission, building trust, and working collaboratively rather than covertly. As international photographer GMB Akash has observed, "getting close is hard. It asks for courage. It asks for connection. It asks for heart." In that closeness, Salter discovered something new: genuine personal connections with people willing to be vulnerable, to reveal something intimate, to share a fleeting moment of mutual understanding.
This shift redefined his practice. Salter's photographs now dwell in distinctly human territory — where eyes begin to speak and unwritten histories come to life. No longer simply a street photographer, he has become a street portrait photographer, traveling the globe in search of willing collaborators for thoughtful, considered portraits. This pursuit has led him to Cuba, Bolivia, the Philippines, Kenya, South Africa, Egypt, Russia, India, Bhutan, and Ethiopia, with travels to Indonesia and Papua New Guinea planned for 2026.
My street portraits are intended to be a celebration of different ethnicities around the world, sharing a glimpse into the way people relate to their surroundings through unique customs, foods, dress, music and art. Many ethnic groups are losing their unique identities, and I believe it is important to tell their stories now.
Faces tell stories. Meaningful portraits are collaborations between a subject and a photographer, with each contributing something essential. I photograph people who live in challenging places, where struggle is a fact of life, where joys and hardships are etched into each face. Eyes that reflect resilience are what I am trying to capture.
As a street portrait photographer, my attention is drawn to the individual. My approach is slow. I must break down barriers, alleviating fear and mistrust. I make eye contact, smile, and let the interaction develop naturally. I want to get to a moment of connection, of understanding, often without spoken language.
A portrait is successful when the precise moment of connection is captured in such a way that the viewer, too, can experience that moment.

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is very pleased to announce that Jason Shih has been selected as one of the four winning artists of the gallery’s recent 33rd “Solo Art Series” Art Competition. Jason will now have a month-long solo art exhibition, and he will be featured on the gallery’s front page, on the Gallery’s YouTube Channel, as well as in the “Solo Art Series” Archive.
Jason Shih is an internationally acclaimed award-winning sculptor based in Taiwan. He will now be promoted by the gallery with an extensive public relations campaign.
For this solo exhibition, the gallery will distribute, promote, and circulate press releases to hundreds of major news outlets. The Gallery will also provide social media distribution through LST’s broad social media network.
Jason’s sculptures will also be featured on the gallery’s YouTube Channel, and with an event postcard.
The “Solo Art Series” is a series of monthly solo art exhibitions for established artists who have a body of work to present to the public. Artist participants were asked to submit the following 3 components for the “Solo Art Series” competition: 1. Their art. 2. Their artist biography. 3. Their artist statement. These elements were evaluated and judged, resulting in the selection of the artists who will be featured in individual month-long solo art exhibitions.
Below are Jason’s Artist Biography and his Artist Statement, along with 12 of his sculptures. We hope that you will take the time to read his information and to take a look at his artwork.
Jason Shih was born in 1972 in Taiwan. In 1991, he began to specialize in metal sculpture when he was a sophomore in the Fine Arts Dept. of Taipei National University of the Arts. In 2001, he graduated from School for American Crafts, Rochester Institute of Technology, USA, and majored in Metal Sculpture. And then, he served as the metal sculptor Albert Paley's assistant, involved in crafts and public art work practices. Furthermore, he earned his Art Ph. D. from China Academy of Art, China (2015). Now, he lives in Taiwan, and consistently engages in the both areas of sculpture and public art.
Jason Shih’s artistic vision is shaped by a diverse array of influences, from contemporary dance to avant-garde fashion. He cites German choreographer Pina Bausch and British designer Alexander McQueen as significant inspirations. Bausch’s explorations of time and space resonate with Shih’s interest in sculpture’s capacity to embody kinetic energy and spatial imagination. McQueen’s innovative approach to contemporary imagery and themes provides Shih with a broad canvas for creative expression.
Shih’s work is also influenced by the aesthetic principles of Futurism and Constructivism, movements that emphasize dynamic energy and continuous motion. These influences are evident in his pursuit of capturing the beauty of movement and the elegant restraint of natural forces. Shih’s sculptures often depict moments of defying gravity, capturing the fleeting beauty of motion in a static form.
As a professional sculptor, Jason likes to experience the taste of life with perceptual observation in the subtle moments, and also likes the ever-changing situation of game shapes in the poetic imaginary space. For Jason, art creation is to share various moods and stories in daily life.
Sculpture is to interpret the beauty of light and shadow, rhythm and volume through the visual techniques of color, shape and texture. The qualities that the creators of sculpture pursue to touch people's hearts are actually as abstract as temperature and smell, but rich in profound penetrating power. This aura that directly points to people's hearts, and the aesthetic sense that makes people enter the drama in resonance, may also be like nostalgia, embodied in the nostalgia of seeing things and thinking about them, and the timid expectation of being close to the hometown.
Sea breeze, mountain mist, morning sun, sunset, in addition to shape and color, there is also the memory of temperature. Cooking smoke, hot soup, wooden tables, pottery cups, and the echo of the smell is the gradual tone of nostalgia. In people's daily aesthetic experience, the memory of temperature and smell accompanied by touch often becomes a kind of fuse to revisit the journey of old dreams. The work involved in sculpture creation is to "condense" and record all kinds of beautiful presence in this beautiful time and space in an appropriate way and with true emotions.

A careful evaluation of the submissions led to the selection of four artists for month-long solo shows, ensuring a diverse range of artistic styles and approaches would be featured.
Presented below are Moti's artist biography and statement, together with 15 of his recycled materials assemblage sculptures. We encourage you to peruse Moti's information and admire his art.
Artist Moti Bazak transforms discarded materials into evocative, often abstract works that reflect on the existential tensions of modern life. What others leave behind becomes his raw language—reassembled, “repaired,” and reimagined into new visual narratives.
Born in Ukraine and raised in Israel, Moti developed a distinctive self-taught approach rooted in the act of reclaiming and reshaping abandoned objects. This process—part restoration, part reinvention—remains central to his work today.
His art has been exhibited primarily across Europe and has received several awards. Moti currently lives and creates in Italy, continuing to explore the boundaries between material, memory, and meaning.
I was still a child when I had the unsettling realization—that something in the world was not quite right; that things, somehow, needed to be mended. Years later, this quiet awareness continues to guide my work.
In my art, I return to that impulse to “fix” by gathering discarded fragments of wood, metal, and paper—materials that have reached the end of their intended lives, abandoned and forgotten. Each fragment carries its own morphology and concealed presence; its colors, textures, scars, and abrasions speak softly of a past existence.
At a certain moment, these disparate elements—once unrelated—are brought together, displaced from their original context, and allowed to converge into a new form. Within this transformation, they begin a kind of afterlife, reassembled into a work that holds both memory and renewal.
This act of mending and reimagining is, for me, deeply grounding. It offers a sense of quiet restoration—one that I hope resonates beyond the work itself and reaches those who encounter it.

A careful evaluation of the submissions led to the selection of four artists for month-long solo shows, ensuring a diverse range of artistic styles and approaches would be featured.
Presented below are Yanrong Zhou's artist biography and statement, together with 10 of her acrylic paintings. We encourage you to peruse her information and admire her art.
Over the course of her career, Yanrong Zhou has built a distinguished record of recognition in pastel painting across both national and international exhibitions. Her work first gained attention in 2018, when Looking Up received a Nomination Award and Pulling Weeds earned an Excellence Award at the National Pastel Art Exhibitions held by Suzhou Ming Art Museum. This momentum continued into 2019, when White was selected for the prestigious 47th Annual Exhibition of the Pastel Society of America, and Sublimation claimed another Excellence Award in Suzhou. Her 2022 pastel Sea went on to win Second Prize at the Shanghai Pastel Painting Summer Online Exhibition, further cementing her standing in the Chinese pastel art community.
In the years since, Zhou's work has been consistently recognized at the national level. Not Being the Boss for Years was selected into the 4th National Pastel Exhibition of China in 2023, and Master Wu was featured in the 5th "Xu Beihong Spirit" Chinese Painting and Oil Painting Exhibition in early 2024. More recently, Waiting received an Excellence Award at the 2024 New Year Online Exhibition of 89 Art Community, while Nobody Cares earned a place in multiple 2025 pastel exhibitions. Rounding out her international reach, Looking Up was awarded an Honorary Nomination at the 2025 American Portrait Art Competition and was selected into a female painters invitational exhibition the same year.
I use my brush like a hoe and have worked on my three-foot canvas for over thirty years. I believe true art is not far away but in every breath, and my brush is an honest witness that only paints what I see with my eyes and hold in my heart. What the paint builds up is not perfect technique, but the rough and warm texture of life itself. In an era swept by fast-paced culture, I choose to stick to slowness, letting my colors stay bright and unfading, and I only do one thing: use my brush to fight against forgetting. I think the value of art lies not in depicting grand spectacles, but in finding eternal beauty in the small, ordinary parts of life. Every stroke of color is a quiet whisper between me and the world, and every work is a snapshot of time like amber. In this age of hurry, I am willing to be a slow craftsman, observing the world in a simple way and spending the rest of my life in this sincere dialogue with beauty. My creed is not in words, but in every unfinished painting and the morning light that will rise again tomorrow.

These elements were evaluated and judged, resulting in the selection of the artists who will be featured in individual month-long solo art exhibitions.
Below are Daina’s Artist Biography and her Artist Statement, along with thirteen of her hand drawn digital artworks. We hope that you will take the time to read her information and to take a look at her images.
Daina Valiulis is a multidisciplinary Canadian artist whose practice bridges storytelling, energy work, and visual art. After more than a decade designing and illustrating costumes for film and television, Daina turned her creative lens inward—toward the unseen realms of intuition, energy, and frequency. Drawing from her background as a classically trained actress, she approaches image-making as performance in stillness: a way to embody story through vibration and color.
Her current body of work, Soul Frequency, channels archetypal and cosmic energies into digital illustrations that act as both visual narratives and energetic transmissions. Each piece emerges from a heart-led, meditative process—translating intuitive knowing into symbolic worlds that invite reflection, healing, and resonance. Daina’s art reminds us that beauty is not only something to be seen, but felt—a living frequency that connects us to the deeper intelligence of being.
Daina also creates textile designs, born out of the knowledge of how clothing affects our energy. These works feature intentional use of colour as frequency, and animal motifs to support the wearer’s energetic field.
Daina’s art has been selected for several online juried art exhibitions including: Palm Art Gallery’s “Afterimage”, KBM Art Gallery’s “Year End Art Extravaganza,” UNC Asheville’s “17th Annual Drawing Discourse” and the Marin Society of Artist’s “Fresh Art” exhibition where she received an Honourable Mention. Daina’s work is under consideration for a Biafarin award and she won 3rd place in the Fusion Art Women’s Art Competition 2025.
I create intuitive digital art as a vessel of frequency - weaving a language beyond words, transmitting energy, emotion, and remembrance, using colour, lines, sigils, animal motifs, and humanoid figures. Each piece begins as a channeled transmission: a pulse of intuitive knowing, an animal spirit, a celestial whisper, or a color vibration asking to be woven into form. Through my work, I translate these unseen energies into visual experiences - sacred patterns, mystical imagery - art that resonates on both a conscious and a subconscious level.
My practice is guided by a desire to stabilize, uplift, and harmonize through visual language. I work with color, form, and rhythm as frequencies- subtle energies that can shift perception and open hearts. My art is both an act of beauty-making and a vessel for insight: it draws from a deep connection to the natural world, to elemental cycles, and to the unseen layers of human experience.

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is very pleased to announce that Katie West has been selected as one of the four winning artists of the gallery’s recent 32nd “Solo Art Series” Art Competition. Katie will now have a month-long solo art exhibition, and she will be featured on the gallery’s front page, on the Gallery’s YouTube Channel, as well as in the “Solo Art Series” Archive.
Katie West is an award-winning photographer based in Delaware, USA. She will now be promoted by the gallery with an extensive public relations campaign.
For this solo exhibition, the gallery will distribute, promote, and circulate press releases to hundreds of major news outlets. The Gallery will also provide social media distribution through LST’s broad social media network.
Katie’s photographs will also be featured on the gallery’s YouTube Channel, and with an event postcard.
The “Solo Art Series” is a series of monthly solo art exhibitions for established artists who have a body of work to present to the public. Artist participants were asked to submit the following 3 components for the “Solo Art Series” competition: 1. Their art. 2. Their artist biography. 3. Their artist statement. These elements were evaluated and judged, resulting in the selection of the artists who will be featured in individual month-long solo art exhibitions.
Below are Katie’s Artist Biography and her Artist Statement, along with 24 of her photographs. We hope that you will take the time to read her information and to take a look at her images.
Katie West is a cultural and travel photographer whose work captures the extraordinary in the ordinary, revealing the shared humanity that connects us across borders, customs, and traditions. Her photographic journey, which fully emerged after retirement from a distinguished arts administration career, transforms everyday moments into compelling visual narratives that celebrate the beauty often overlooked in our daily lives.
West's approach to photography was shaped early by her father, an amateur photographer who maintained a darkroom in their family bathroom. This childhood exposure to the craft was further refined during her college years.. Her studies provided essential grounding in camera techniques, darkroom processes, and the principles of photojournalism—particularly the art of capturing interesting and meaningful moments. This foundation in storytelling through images continues to inform her work today.
Initially focused on landscapes, seascapes, and architectural subjects, West's artistic vision expanded significantly after receiving a 2022 Emerging Artist Fellowship in Photography for her collection of Jamaican photographs from the Delaware Division of the Arts. This recognition encouraged her to broaden both her geographic scope and thematic focus, incorporating people and their stories into her visual narratives. Her work now explores how individuals live—at home, at work, at play, and in their communities—revealing the universal values, needs, and desires that bind humanity together despite surface differences.
West's artistic philosophy centers on understanding, empathy, and love of humanity. By venturing beyond typical tourist destinations, she creates intimate portraits of people in their natural environments, documenting authentic moments that convey the essence of a country or region.
Her technical approach reflects contemporary realities and a commitment to unobtrusive documentation. Working primarily with a high-quality cell phone camera, West embraces the medium's immediacy and accessibility. The ubiquity of smartphones allows her to capture fleeting moments quickly while remaining less intrusive in her subjects' spaces—a crucial consideration when photographing people in their daily lives. For West, photography is an act of the heart; her images capture what her heart sees and feels.
Since unexpectedly receiving her first gallery invitation in 2020 to exhibit Jamaican photographs, West has taught herself the technical aspects of printing, framing, and exhibition. Her work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions across multiple states and internationally online, with five photographs now part of the permanent collection at Delaware's Carvel Building. Through her evolving practice, West continues to build a body of work that celebrates cultural diversity while revealing our fundamental interconnectedness, inviting viewers to see the world—and each other—with fresh eyes and open hearts.
Photography has been woven into the fabric of my life since childhood, when my father's darkroom first introduced me to the magic of capturing light and shadow. College courses in photojournalism deepened this foundation, teaching me to see not just images, but stories. Yet it wasn't until retirement that this lifelong connection to photography transformed into something more urgent—a need to document the beautiful complexity of human experience across cultures and continents.
The work began almost accidentally in 2017, with travel photographs shared casually on social media. An unexpected gallery invitation in 2020 to exhibit Jamaican images became a turning point. That moment launched a self-taught journey into the technical aspects of fine art photography—printing, framing, exhibiting—but more importantly, it crystallized a deeper purpose: to reveal the extraordinary hidden within the ordinary, the universal truths embedded in daily life.
Initially drawn to Jamaica's landscapes, seascapes, and architecture, the focus gradually shifted toward something more intimate—people in their authentic environments. These images document how communities live, work, play, and move through the world. They're attempts to bridge the perceived distances between cultures by highlighting our shared humanity. Despite vast differences in wealth, customs, and traditions, the photographs reveal fundamental connections: the same desires for dignity, joy, and belonging exist everywhere.
The choice of tools reflects this philosophy. Most images are now captured with a cell phone camera rather than traditional equipment. Modern smartphone technology has evolved remarkably, offering excellent image quality while remaining unobtrusive. This matters profoundly when photographing people in their natural habitats. A cell phone is ubiquitous, familiar, non-threatening—it allows genuine moments to unfold without the barrier of professional cameras that can create distance or self-consciousness.
Traveling beyond typical tourist destinations makes this intimacy possible. It creates opportunities to meet people authentically, to be invited into their worlds with understanding and empathy. Each photograph represents more than technical composition or aesthetic beauty—it captures what the heart sees and feels, what resonates on a human level.
The work continues to evolve. An Artist Fellowship provided validation and momentum to expand geographically and thematically, pushing toward images that don't just document but truly convey how people live. Every new location offers fresh perspectives on the infinite variations of human experience, yet each journey reinforces the same truth: we are more alike than different.
This photography practice is ultimately about attention—learning to notice beauty we might otherwise walk past daily, then sharing those discoveries with others. It's about creating visual bridges between worlds, using images to foster empathy and connection across the boundaries that too often divide us.

A careful evaluation of the submissions led to the selection of four artists for month-long solo shows, ensuring a diverse range of artistic styles and approaches would be featured.
Presented below are Song-Zhen's artist biography and statement, together with 15 of her digitally hand-painted artwork. We encourage you to peruse Song-Zhen's information and admire her art.
Song-Zhen Shen Huang is a Chinese American artist born in Shanghai, China. She brings a rich educational background to her artistic practice, having graduated from Donghua University in 1982 with a degree in Textile Pattern Design. After immigrating to the United States, she continued her studies at York College in New York City, where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree in Painting in 1987. She further refined her skills at the prestigious Pratt Institute in New York, completing her Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Oil Painting in 1990.
From 1990 to 2025, Huang established herself as a versatile creative professional, working as both an oil painting freelancer and a graphic designer for fashion brands across New York and California. Her career has been marked by a unique ability to blend fine art sensibilities with commercial design expertise.
A pivotal moment in Huang's artistic journey came in 2020 when the global pandemic began. Due to special circumstances, she found herself stranded in the suburbs without access to her traditional painting materials. Rather than letting this challenge hinder her creative output, she embraced innovation by transitioning to digital art, using digital pens to create on screens as a replacement for her beloved oil paintings. This period proved to be extraordinarily productive, resulting in the creation of over one hundred artworks spanning three major series: figures, landscapes, and mixed subjects. Her adaptability and commitment to her craft during this time demonstrates her resilience as an artist and her willingness to explore new mediums and technologies.
Huang's work has garnered significant recognition in the international art community. Between 2022 and 2025, she received twenty awards at various levels in international painting exhibitions, affirming both the quality of her artistic vision and her successful adaptation to digital media. Her achievements reflect a distinguished career that bridges traditional training, commercial design experience, and contemporary digital innovation.
Digital pens serve merely as auxiliary tools for creation. Unlike conventional digital painting, I integrate mechanical digital media with my established oil painting techniques to preserve the warmth of hand-drawn works, enhancing their painterly qualities, expressiveness, and emotional impact.
This hybrid approach to digital hand-painting leverages contemporary tools while maintaining the essential attributes and personal style of traditional painting, effectively resisting visual distractions from digital elements.
Reflecting on years of exploration and dedication, I am grateful for the courage to challenge conventional norms and borrow a ray of color from the clouds, allowing my artworks to take diverse forms. Through digital hand-painting, I have created a unique legacy for my artistic journey.

Her technical approach blends design with artistic aesthetics, skillfully and successfully shaping the overall stylistic characteristics, giving the styled images a new form of life, awakening the soul of the characters, and aiming to enhance the audience’s possibilities for interpretation and storytelling while capturing their hearts.
The "River of Primordial Chaos" series explores the nature of life, consciousness, and time. The river serves as a metaphor for time—it never ceases, carrying fragments of memories, emotions, and life itself, flowing from its source toward an unknown destination. However, this river is not clear or orderly; it is "chaotic"—filled with primal energy, uncertain possibilities, conflicting emotions, and forgotten dreams.
This series primarily uses plaster and fiber as materials to create a dialogue of matter:
Plaster: Represents "solidification" and "structure." It is hard, heavy, and fragile—like the concrete memories in our lives, the frameworks we build, societal norms, or wounds that have already hardened. Its white purity also carries a quiet sense of death.
Fiber: Represents "flow" and "connection." It is soft, light, and resilient—like threads of emotion, the flow of the subconscious, neural networks, or those undefinable, ever-changing parts of life. It can be both a binding constraint and a gentle shelter.
Through the tension, fusion, and opposition between the "form" of plaster and the "formlessness" of fiber, this series materializes the chaotic river that rushes within each of us—a force that both creates and destroys.

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is proud to announce that Artist Penny FireHorse has been selected as one of four winners in Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery's 31st "Solo Art Series" Art Competition. Penny’s month-long solo art exhibition will be featured on the gallery’s website, YouTube channel, and in the “Solo Art Series” Archive.
Penny is an award-winning artist based in Washington, USA. The gallery will now promote her with an extensive online public relations campaign.

Penny's work will also be showcased on the gallery's YouTube channel, and promoted via an event postcard, award ribbon, and certificate.
The “Solo Art Series” highlights the work of established artists, who have a body of work to showcase, through a series of online monthly solo exhibitions. Artist participants were asked to submit the following 3 components for the “Solo Art Series” competition: 1. Their art. 2. Their artist biography. 3. Their artist statement. A careful evaluation of the submissions led to the selection of four artists for month-long solo shows, ensuring a diverse range of artistic styles and approaches would be featured.
Presented below are Penny's artist biography and statement, together with 25 of her Neon Sea Creatures series of digital illustrations. We encourage you to peruse Penny's information and admire her art.
Artist Penny FireHorse is an award-winning healing artist whose creative journey is rooted in a profound connection to nature, spirituality, and the transformative power of creativity. Her work spans vibrant acrylic swipe paintings, hand-painted glassware, pottery, digital illustrations, and functional art. With an Art Therapy certification, she approaches each creation with the intention of fostering calm, mindfulness, and meaningful connection.
Color is at the heart of everything Artist Penny FireHorse does. She uses it as a language to express emotions, invite reflection, and celebrate the resilience of life. Whether she's painting a canvas, designing a piece of functional art, or creating digitally, her goal is always the same: to create work that resonates deeply with people and reminds them of beauty, hope, and inner strength.
Over the years, her art has received meaningful recognition. She was honored with a ribbon and cash award for her digital illustration Sunrise Rose at Art Explosion, presented by the Federal Way Arts Commission. Her fine art print Floating Dandelions was selected for a public traffic wrap installation, bringing art into everyday community life. Earlier this year, she was also celebrated with an article plaque feature in the Chicago Weekly. These honors affirm her mission to make art accessible, healing, and impactful.
At the heart of Artist Penny FireHorse’s practice is the Heart of Colors Project, a deeply personal journey that reflects her belief in the healing and unifying power of creativity. Through this project and all of her work, she strives to inspire hope, spark joy, and create space for reflection. Sharing this vision with the world—one piece of expressive hope at a time—is both her calling and her greatest passion.
The Neon Sea Creatures Series emerged from a lifelong fascination with the ocean and its mysterious, ever-changing beauty. Growing up mesmerized by the colors and movement of sea life, I have always felt a deep connection to the water—a place of healing, wonder, and transformation. Living near the Pacific Northwest coastline only amplifies that connection; the rhythm of the tides and the sheer power of the sea continually inspire my creative process.
This series was loosely inspired by a memory of Greg Norman’s iconic shark logo, which captured a bold, sleek energy that stayed with me through the years. I wanted to take that spark and reimagine it through my own lens—infusing sea creatures with vibrant neon hues, flowing shapes, and dynamic compositions that reflect both strength and fluidity.
My process begins intuitively, layering movement and color to bring each creature to life. I work with five distinct pastel tones in these digital illustrations, allowing them to mimic the way light dances across the water, while the shapes pulse with a rhythm that feels almost audible, like the heartbeat of the ocean itself. Each piece takes on a second life when viewed under a black light, glowing in the dark with an otherworldly luminescence that transforms the sea creatures into radiant, dreamlike beings.
The Neon Sea Creatures Series is ultimately about wonder. It’s about seeing familiar forms—the octopus, the seahorse, the whales, the sharks—with fresh eyes, reimagined in glowing tones that invite the viewer into a surreal underwater world. These works celebrate both memory and imagination, grounded in my love for the ocean and carried by the vibrant energy of color and light.

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is very pleased to announce that Paola Magini has been selected as one of the four winning artists of the gallery’s recent 31st “Solo Art Series” Art Competition. Paola will now have a month-long solo art exhibition, and she will be featured on the gallery’s front page, on the Gallery’s YouTube Channel, as well as in the “Solo Art Series” Archive.
Paola Magini is an internationally acclaimed award-winning artist based in Italy. She will now be promoted by the gallery with an extensive public relations campaign.
For this solo exhibition, the gallery will distribute, promote, and circulate press releases to hundreds of major news outlets. The Gallery will also provide social media distribution through LST’s broad social media network.
Paola’s art will also be featured on the gallery’s YouTube Channel, and with an event postcard.
The “Solo Art Series” is a series of monthly solo art exhibitions for established artists who have a body of work to present to the public. Artist participants were asked to submit the following 3 components for the “Solo Art Series” competition: 1. Their art. 2. Their artist biography. 3. Their artist statement. These elements were evaluated and judged, resulting in the selection of the artists who will be featured in individual month-long solo art exhibitions.
Below are Paola’s Artist Biography and her Artist Statement, along with 12 of her paintings. We hope that you will take the time to read her information and to take a look at her mixed media artwork.
Paola Magini was born in Siena and dedicated herself to drawing and painting since she was a child, but she received her first artistic training at the Duccio di Buoninsegna Art Institute in Siena.
After a year at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, she learned the technique of fresco and mural paintings with the painter Paolo Graziani, who led her to create numerous private and public works throughout the country, practicing painting at a professional level, participating in exhibitions and winning competitions for the creation of public artworks.
A list of all her exhibitions and public works can be found on her website.
The general style of the works is influenced by various geographical and historical cultural elements, but more accentuated by the decorative elements of Islamic culture, sometimes mixed with graphic elements belonging to the present period and others from Renaissance and Flemish art. The works are formally figurative and realistic, with a dreamlike atmosphere and ‘suspended’ in time.
Some symbolic elements are frequently present in the paintings that refer to the underlying spiritual message. Among these are doors, water or fountains (symbols often present in the Scriptures) as well as other elements typical of the artist’s personal iconography. The people depicted are a synthesis of future and past humanity, dressed in vintage clothes and hairstyles, but full of tattoos and with hair often as colorful as humanity of the present time.
“The purpose of my work, in addition to satisfying the creative need that I have felt since I was a child, consists in wanting to push people to make an in-depth reflection on the importance of spirituality in their lives, as a healthier approach to oppose the rampant materialism in today’s society.
A society that pushes people to the most unbridled individualism and consumerism, a lifestyle that clearly damages people’s mental health. Through the teaching of the Scriptures and a serious meditation on society and its behaviors, one can achieve a new awareness and hope for the future.”
Technically, the paintings are generally made on wood with a mixed technique of oil and acrylic colors, together with gold leaf

Jane Gottlieb has been a full-time artist for over 45 years, creating art with photographs she has taken all over the world, her colorful imagination and the magic of Photoshop.

I have been expressing my joy of art with paint, shapes and colors since I was very young. I started as a painter, evolved into a photographer, and eventually began hand-painting on individual Cibachrome photographic prints over 35 years ago.
Before Photoshop, I found a way to express an unrealistic reality with the vivid, saturated, and otherworldly colors.
For the past 50 years, I have been scanning my one-of-a-kind hand-painted prints and my library of 35mm Kodachrome color transparencies taken while traveling the world.
I paint, combine, and enhance my photographs with the magical Photoshop, creating my own idyllic, colorful world!

A careful evaluation of the submissions led to the selection of four artists for month-long solo shows, ensuring a diverse range of artistic styles and approaches would be featured.
Presented below are Emma's artist biography and statement, together with 10 of her acrylic paintings. We encourage you to peruse her information and admire her art.
Emma Song Yunci, born in 1996, emerges as a rising star in the world of freelance art. Her artistic odyssey is a captivating exploration of femininity, rendered exquisitely through the medium of acrylic portraiture.
With a discerning eye, Emma Song Yunci captures the ephemeral, lazy moments of women's daily lives, imbuing them with a soft, dreamlike color palette. These seemingly ordinary instants are transformed into profound expressions of emotional depth, as she delves into the intricate nuances of her subjects' demeanors. Through her art, she masterfully weaves together the threads of natural visual allure and the indomitable inner vitality of women, creating a visual narrative that resonates deeply.
From 2014 to 2018, Emma Song Yunci embarked on an academic adventure at the China University of Geosciences in Wuhan. There, she immersed herself in the study of Jewelry Design, earning a Bachelor's degree. This educational journey not only honed her creative sensibilities but also instilled in her a unique perspective on form, color, and material, which would later inform her artistic practice.
As a freelance artist, my work is deeply rooted in my personal understanding and belief in the transformative power of art. This collection seeks to capture the inherent power and tranquility of life, reflecting the gentle beauty of women as they nurture life, alongside their resilient energy in navigating its highs and lows. My creative philosophy is inspired by the ebbs and flows of existence—life, much like an ocean, is a journey of ups and downs, where we often confront solitude and challenges.
In my artistic process, I employ soft colors to evoke the tenderness of women, often portraying serene, everyday moments that highlight their natural beauty. Simultaneously, I strive to capture the profound vitality in their expressions, revealing the dynamic essence of life itself. My canvas becomes a medium to infuse visual vitality, softness, and a sense of peaceful stillness—a much - needed balm in a complex and turbulent world. I believe people crave beauty, and this world, in turn, yearns for the healing that beauty can bring.
My art is a journey of redemption, both for myself and for others. Through the slow, deliberate flow of my brushstrokes, I traverse time and space, drawing strength from the act of creation. In this intricate world, I find solace in the beautiful moments I depict. Looking ahead, I envision my future works embracing the lost and downtrodden—those who feel broken or overlooked. I aim to paint their stories, to dust off their weary souls, and to offer them a path forward through the restorative power of art.
