Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is extremely pleased to announce that Sofia Papagni 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.
Sofia is an award-winning artist based in Washington, Arizona, 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 Sofia’s Artist Biography, Artist Statement and 5 of her watercolor on paper artworks submitted to this competition.
Sofia Papagni is a watercolor and mixed-media artist. She has made art since childhood, developing through formal classes and AP portfolios. Experimentation is an essential part of her process. She adapts and searches for the methods and materials that feel like the most honest extensions of who she is. That openness allows her work to naturally evolve, following intuition, curiosity, and lived experience. She considers herself a lifelong student, leaning into unknown possibilities and expansion.
Sofia believes art is a form of medicine for creators and observers. Shaped by personal grapples with healing, Sofia creates to bridge her inner spirit to the outer world; a necessary vessel for her own freedom.
Her artistic path is rooted in a desire to bring more beauty, presence, and emotional connection into the world. Her pieces are an invitation to look closer, look longer, and reconnect with the dedication and wonder that gives life its spark.
Sofia’s work has been exhibited and sold through festivals, commissions, and local markets in Northwest Florida since 2017, until relocating to the PNW area in 2025.
Watercolor is my primary medium. Its freeform, fluid nature mirrors the organic rhythms we find in both nature and human experience. Change is the constant, and watercolor moves. I see the process as the most important part of my work. I explore intersections of nature, emotion, and symbolic imagery, often guided by themes of the divine feminine, freedom, love, and flow.
Many of these symbols and forms are intentionally open-ended, blended into their environment, almost hidden in plain sight. This allows each viewer to form their own relationship and perspective with the piece as they look closer and certain aspects reveal themselves.
Each piece is created through an intuitive process instead of a rigid plan. I allow shapes, colors, and symbols to emerge from the present, trusting the movement of the medium and my own shifting perspectives. This approach creates space for honesty and vulnerability, space for evolution. This results in visuals that are layered with meaning rather than explicitly defined. A journey rather than a destination. It is the purest way for me to try and translate my own soul.
Ultimately, the goal is to create work that offers a sense of warmth, presence, and resonance. These visuals invite a moment of pause—a gentle reminder to reconnect with beauty, softness, and the deeper currents that exist beneath the surface of everyday life.

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is extremely pleased to announce that Bill Boxer has been named as the Gallery’s new featured artist and he will now be promoted by the gallery for the next 14 days in the gallery’s Artist Showcase.
Bill is an award-winning photographer based in Florida, USA. He was selected as 1 of the top twelve finalists in the gallery’s 34th Solo Art Exhibition Series. The placement in this competition qualified his artwork to be showcased in this feature.
His Artist Showcase feature will be promoted to hundreds of major news outlets. In addition, the gallery will also be featuring and promoting his artwork in the gallery’s various social media networks for further exposure.
Below are Bill’s Artist Biography, Artist Statement and 5 of his photographs submitted to this competition.
Bill Boxer is a fine art photographer based in St. Augustine, Florida. His work centers on perception, attention, and the act of seeing, often focusing on subjects found close to home.
He began his creative life as a pianist, studying in New York and later working as a music educator, collaborative pianist and arts administrator. That background continues to influence his photography, particularly in his sense of structure, timing, and interpretation. Photography became a parallel path early on, beginning with black and white film and darkroom work, and evolving over time into a focused digital practice.
In recent years, his work has taken on a more defined direction. Working primarily in a limited physical environment, he has developed a visual language based on close observation and restraint. Rather than seeking subjects far away, his photographs explore what is immediately present: dew on a leaf, reflections in water, the surface of bark, or brief moments in the natural world.
His series Close to Home reflects this approach, using simple subjects to explore larger ideas of time, scale, and perception. Dewdrops, in particular, have become a central subject, functioning not only as objects, but as lenses that hold and reshape the surrounding world.
His work has been exhibited in public and gallery spaces and has received recognition in several online exhibitions and competitions. He continues to photograph daily, refining a body of work that is both personal and broadly accessible.
Close to Home: Moments Paused
This work comes from a smaller world.
Over time, my range of movement has narrowed, but my attention has not. What once required distance is now found close at hand. The photographs in this series are made within that space, often just steps from my door.
Each image begins with a dewdrop, formed, suspended, and gone within moments. Within that brief interval, the drop becomes a lens, gathering and reshaping what surrounds it into something contained and complete. What cannot be held is, for an instant, paused.
The act of photographing these moments is not about stopping time, but about noticing it more closely as it passes. A drop stretches, settles, reflects, and disappears. The camera allows that moment to remain long enough to be seen.
At times, that sense of containment gives way to something more expansive. What begins as a single, held moment can open outward, suggesting a larger field of movement and light beyond the frame.
Taken together, these photographs form a body of work grounded not in place, but in presence. The world does not become smaller, it becomes more immediate, more focused, and more revealing when looked at closely.

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.
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.

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is extremely pleased to announce that Matt White has been named as the Gallery’s new featured artist and he will now be promoted by the gallery for the next 14 days in the gallery’s Artist Showcase.
Matt is an award-winning artist based in Ohio, USA. He was selected as 1 of the top twelve finalists in the gallery’s 33rd Solo Art Exhibition Series. The placement in this competition qualified his artwork to be showcased in this feature.
His Artist Showcase feature will be promoted to hundreds of major news outlets. In addition, the gallery will also be featuring and promoting his artwork in the gallery’s various social media networks for further exposure.
Below are Matt’s Artist Biography, Artist Statement and 5 of his oil and ink on canvas artworks submitted to this competition.
Matt White was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, and earned his Fine Art degree from the Columbus College of Art and Design, though his real education started with a pencil and a sketchbook long before that.
At its core, his work is about balance. Not the tidy, symmetrical kind, but the push and pull between opposing forces: structure and chaos, and control and instinct. White has been sketching for as long as he can remember, and a lot of that comes from growing up lost in science fiction and fantasy. The worlds of Frank Herbert, Arthur C. Clarke, and Tolkien shaped how he sees things long before he ever picked up a brush seriously.
He's also a lifelong chess and billiards player, and that shows up in how he works a canvas. There's a strategy to it, a sense of angles and consequences, but there's room for spontaneity too. Years of training in Kung Fu and Tai Chi taught him something similar: how to hold discipline and fluidity in the same hand.
A lot of that comes back to Yin and Yang for White, not as a symbol he paints, but as a way of working. Structure against looseness, control against release. That tension is really what he's chasing every time he starts a new piece.
These days he's in Dublin, Ohio, still in the studio most days, with his wife Beth keeping him honest and their Shiba Inu, Fuji, keeping him company.
My work explores the threshold between structure and sentience - where engineered systems meet the forces that escape them. I am drawn to forms that are half-invented and half-remembered: drifting architectures, symbolic notations, and biological shapes that refuse singular meaning. These hybrid entities inhabit spaces where boundaries dissolve, transforming the mechanical into the organic, and language into pulse or breath.
I use fragmentation deliberately, filling surfaces with hieroglyphic marks as if a forgotten script is trying to cohere. Rooted forms coil through these lattices, disrupting symmetry and suggesting that life emerges in the gaps - the places where precision breaks down and imagination takes over.
These works exist as contemplative landscapes of uncertainty. They invite viewers to navigate the piece as one navigates memory: moving between the decipherable and the unknowable, assembling meaning from fragments that do not quite align. Ultimately, my goal is to create spaces where ambiguity is not a problem to solve, but an ecosystem to inhabit.

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is extremely pleased to announce that Jineane Rivers 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.
Jineane is an award-winning photographer based in Phoenix, Arizona, 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 Jineane’s Artist Biography, Artist Statement and 5 of her photographs submitted to this competition.
Jineane Rivers currently resides in Phoenix, Arizona eager to build upon the 15+ years of photography experience into a full time career. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in photography at ASU.
After truly discovering herself in her mid-20s, she developed a style that is uniquely her. Finding the beauty in all things dark, creepy, mysterious and macabre. As someone who finds comfort in the shadows, her work is a reflection of who she is. Jineane appreciates the unconventional and has a magical perspective on the world.
I have always admired all things Halloween and eerie, it's my comfort when I'm feeling down or going through tough times. There is just something about the overall feeling and atmosphere that makes me feel at peace. My love for it doesn't stop after October.
A huge part of my growth as a photographer was rekindling that childlike sense of wonder and imagination that Halloween brings me. My art embraces the dark and spookiness that guide me in creating a world that feels wondrous.
Over the years, I've had the opportunity to travel with my camera, capturing people and architecture in environments that let my creativity soar. I thrive on creating imagery that gives off a haunting ambience.

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is extremely pleased to announce that Patrice Le Pera 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.
Patrice is an award-winning artist 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 Patrice’s Artist Biography, Artist Statement and 5 of her oil on canvas paintings submitted to this competition.
Driven by a profound respect for sacred traditions, Patrice Le Pera has dedicated herself to capturing disappearing cultures through her art. Working primarily in oil, her paintings honor the spiritual, ceremonial, and daily lives of Native American communities, preserving moments of continuity between ancestors and future generations.
Patrice is a listed portrait artist known for vivid, historically grounded representations of sacred and cultural traditions. Her work reflects years of relationship-building with Native communities and elders, emphasizing accuracy, reverence, and lived experience rather than romanticized narrative.
Her professional career includes illustration work with the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, including children’s books and the fully illustrated MPTN Tribal Dictionary created to support language preservation. Additional illustrated publications include Raggamuffins and The Hallowe’en Pledge.
Patrice has served as Illustrator Coordinator for SCBWI and is an active member of WASCO and the Windsor Arts Council. Her paintings have been exhibited at the Mashantucket Pequot Museum and the Hembree House Gallery, and have received international recognition, including the Exhibizone Grand Prize, Biafarin Spirituality Award, Biafarin Scenic Award, and First Place Portrait, Sonoma County, California.
Her earlier career as a classically trained opera singer in Germany, along with decades of work as a Senior Contract Administrator for NASA’s Space Station Program and international diplomatic construction projects, shaped her disciplined approach and global cultural awareness.
As Marjorie, MPTN Tribal Healer and Elder, once told her: “The work you are doing for us will still be valid in 200 years.” This affirmation remains the guiding compass of Patrice Le Pera’s artistic practice.
My work is dedicated to honoring the living traditions and spiritual continuity of Native American communities, particularly those of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation. Through oil painting, I seek to preserve quiet, human moments—acts of daily life, ceremony, and relationship with the natural world—that carry meaning across generations.
These paintings are not imagined narratives, but are grounded in years of relationship, listening, and learning. I strive to approach each subject with respect and accuracy, allowing the figures to exist with dignity and presence rather than as symbols or romanticized images.
Light, landscape, and gesture are used to reflect an inner stillness—moments where the boundary between the physical and the spiritual world becomes permeable. Water, firelight, and the natural environment are recurring elements, representing continuity, memory, and renewal.
My intention is that these works serve not only as images, but as vessels of cultural memory—honoring those who came before and those who will carry these traditions forward.

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is extremely pleased to announce that Sharon DeLuccie Pogar 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.
Sharon is an award-winning artist based in Florida, 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 Sharon’s Artist Biography, Artist Statement and 5 acrylic on canvas paintings submitted to this competition.
Sharon DeLuccie Pogar is a contemporary artist whose work is hard to ignore. Bold color, geometric composition, and expressive, stylized forms define her visual world, one that sits comfortably between abstraction and figuration, exploring emotion, identity, and storytelling through fragmented human and animal imagery.
It all started in childhood, when a summer art school enrollment lit a creative spark that never went out. Over the years, Sharon developed an approach that feels entirely her own: precise yet spontaneous, structured yet free. At the heart of it is a belief she holds firmly: in abstract art, there are no mistakes, only evolution. That mindset gives her work its energy, its sense of discovery, and its strong design instincts.
Her paintings move across a wide range of territory. Multi-perspective faces, symbolic animal forms, and whimsical characters are all fair game for Sharon, who shifts freely between themes of transformation and duality and moments of pure playfulness. What ties it together is her fearless command of color. Bright, contrasting hues do more than decorate; they create movement, set a rhythm, and carry an emotional charge that hits before the viewer even has time to analyze it.
For Sharon, art has never been just about what's on the canvas. She sees creativity as something genuinely connective, a language that transcends barriers and has real power to heal and inspire. That conviction shapes her broader vision of bringing art into the lives of underserved communities and individuals with special needs, where expression and empowerment go hand in hand.
She keeps painting, keeps pushing, and keeps growing. Sharon's work remains vibrant, personal, and alive, an open invitation into a world where color, form, and emotion tell stories that are as universal as they are her own.
My work explores emotion, identity, and storytelling through bold color, geometric pattern, and stylized form. I'm drawn to the space between abstraction and figuration, where recognizable subjects begin to fragment and shift into something more expressive. By breaking down human and animal forms into structured shapes, I build layered compositions that hold multiple perspectives at once.
Color is central to everything I do. Vibrant, saturated hues communicate feeling as much as they create visual impact, forming a language that invites emotional response over analysis. Contrast, balance, and repetition guide the eye while generating tension and movement throughout each piece.
My process lives between intention and intuition. I care about composition and structure, but I leave room for spontaneity, rooted in my belief that in abstract art, there are no mistakes, only evolution. That freedom allows each piece to develop naturally, through a dialogue between control and release.
My imagery ranges from fragmented faces and stylized animals to narrative-driven scenes, moving between deeper themes of transformation and duality and moments of pure whimsy. My artistic journey began in childhood at summer art school, a spark that never left me and continues to shape how I work and why.
At its core, my art is about connection: between color and form, artist and viewer, emotion and expression. I want my paintings to make people pause, feel, and find something personal in what they see. Through geometry, color, and intuition, I strive to create work that is both visually alive and genuinely meaningful.

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is proud to announce that Moti Bazak has been selected as one of four winners in Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery's 33rd "Solo Art Series" Art Competition. Moti’s month-long solo art exhibition will be featured on the gallery’s website, YouTube channel, and in the “Solo Art Series” Archive.
Moti is a Ukrainian born, internationally acclaimed, award-winning artist based in Italy. The gallery will now promote his with an extensive online public relations campaign.
Promotion of Moti’s solo exhibition will include the distribution of press releases to hundreds of major news outlets. The Gallery will leverage Light Space & Time’s extensive social media network to promote Moti and his art.
Moti'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 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.

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is extremely pleased to announce that Huaixuan Xiang 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.
Huaixuan is an internationally acclaimed, award-winning artist and illustrator based in New York, 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 Huaixuan’s Artist Biography, Artist Statement and 5 of her Rule of Dreams series of oil paintings submitted to this competition.
Huaixuan Xiang is a New York-based illustrator, painter, and occult practitioner who graduated from the School of Visual Arts and is currently pursuing a master's degree at the Fashion Institute of Technology. She acts as a messenger, channeling insights from her meditations and dreams into her work, and seeks to create pieces that invite audiences to feel the full energy of human emotion.
Huaixuan has completed an extensive body of work for both personal and commercial clients. She served as the illustrator for the visual novel An Outcast in Another World and as a character designer for Somndus Studio. Her work has also been featured in numerous gallery shows and exhibitions, including the Amsterdam Whitney Gallery and ArtExpo New York.
Huaixuan's art is more than a reflection of her imagination. It is a universal language of emotion and mystery. Through her work, she invites viewers to resonate deeply and to see themselves reflected in the world she creates.
My work is deeply shaped by dreams and meditation, giving it a surreal and introspective quality. Before painting, I immerse myself in the memory of a dream — recalling its smallest details and, more importantly, reconnecting with the emotions I felt. I amplify those feelings until they become physically intense, and I hold onto that sensation throughout the entire process. The images and emotions in my work often echo shared experiences rooted in cultural memory, and I believe that as people grow older, they gradually lose touch with their feelings. My paintings are an effort to fully capture those feelings before they fade.
I believe the emotions an artist puts into a work do not disappear. They remain embedded like imprints. Because emotion is a universal language, viewers from any background can connect with what lives inside an image. I hope my paintings awaken personal memories and invite each viewer to feel something of their own.
Alongside traditional painting, I work digitally as a fantasy illustrator, exploring epic and spiritual themes influenced by meditation and the occult. Even in digital work, I strive to recreate the texture of traditional painting and center the inner emotional life of each character.
I believe art is the highest form of hope, and through mine, I invite viewers to step into a world of memory and feeling.

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is extremely pleased to announce that Connie Rogers 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.
Connie is an award-winning artist based in Florida, USA. She was selected as 1 of the top twelve finalists in the gallery’s 32nd 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 Connie’s Artist Biography, Artist Statement and 5 of her mixed media artworks that include photography with oil painting, acrylic painting & digital painting submitted to this competition.
Connie Rogers is a self-taught photographer and acrylic artist whose work centers on translating atmosphere and motion into visually immersive imagery. Her art reflects a deep attentiveness to light, shadows and land capturing moments that feel both fleeting and timeless. Through her work, Rogers transforms natural and everyday scenes into expressive visual stories that invite extended viewing and contemplation.
Much of Rogers’ imagery originates from her travels and time spent in Colorado, NY, Georgia, California, and the Mediterranean region of France. These locations provide varied terrain, climate, and tonal character, all of which influence her creative direction. Rather than staging scenes, mostly, she responds intuitively to her surroundings—observing shifts in light, subtle movement in water or foliage, and the quiet tension between stillness and motion. These observations guide how each image is framed and later developed.
Her creative process often begins with photography, which conveys mood through balance, scale, and natural contrast. She then refines her imagery using digital processes that deepen tonal range, enhance spatial presence, and strengthen visual impact while maintaining the integrity of the original scene.
Recently, Rogers has expanded her practice by incorporating acrylic paint over photo prints on paper. This layered approach introduces texture, color, and movement, allowing her to reinterpret the image while preserving its foundation.
A blending of mediums creates work that exists between realism and mood. This stems from her painting by numbers as a child, dedicating cherry reds where yellows were indicated, a more favored flavor.
With the flow of water, the direction of wind, or the rhythm of clouds, she adds a sense of drama. Each piece evolves slowly, shaped by multiple stages of refinement and artistic response rather than a fixed endpoint. Most times beckoning hours of concentration.
Rogers’ completed works are designed to feel inviting and immersive, encouraging viewers to slow down and engage with the image on a deeper level. Rogers is Influenced by the dramatic tonal depth of Ansel Adams and the expressive waterscapes found in Wyland’s work, as she continues to explore how imagery can convey presence, movement, reflection, curiosity, and an enduring appreciation for the outdoors. Her happy place, indeed.
I am a self-taught recognized and award-winning photographer whose creative practice has developed through years of dedicated observation, experimentation, and personal exploration. My work emerges from an ongoing dialogue between environment and emotion, where visual experience becomes a means of translating what I see into form. Each finished piece represents an internal resolution reached through sustained engagement.
Landscape and waterscape subjects dominate my portfolio, shaped by a preference for motion, openness, and unrestrained expression. I am drawn to scenes that suggest momentum rather than stillness, where wind, water, light, or terrain appear unstable. (i.e. a bird lands in a tree and in a split second, disappears, OR avalanche control, using dynamite, can change the mountain terrain) These environments offer endless variation, allowing imagination to evolve without confinement or repetition. I respond intuitively, and impulsively to guide framing, perspective, and eventual interpretation.
For this showcase, I present work spanning multiple materials and methods, unified by a focus on the natural world. While my imagery originates in what lies before me, the final result extends beyond me. Color becomes my universal language. Undertones reflect my inner response. The scene transforms according to the feeling present at that precise instant, resulting in imagery shaped as much by perception as by location.
Here, my intention remains consistent: to create work that honors harmony, visual balance, and a sense of quiet connection. Whether applying paint or capturing a fleeting instant through a lens in the Rocky Mountains, or the Pacific Ocean, I work from the conviction that solitude outdoors carries profound meaning. Being immersed within open spaces offers me clarity unavailable elsewhere, shaping both subject matter and my artistic direction.
My hope remains simple yet enduring—to encourage viewers toward deeper awareness, inviting recognition of the remarkable presence surrounding them daily. Art, for me, serves as an invitation to slow down, speed up, or change perception, to reconsider familiar surroundings, and rediscover beauty already waiting in plain sight.
