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 extremely pleased to announce that John Chehak 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.
John is an award-winning artist based in Iowa, USA. He was selected as 1 of the top twelve finalists in the gallery’s 32nd 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 John’s Artist Biography, Artist Statement and 5 of his artworks submitted to this competition.
John Chehak was born and raised in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He graduated from the University of Iowa College of Pharmacy in 1973 and began practicing retail pharmacy in his hometown. By his late forties he felt an urge to explore his long dormant artistic abilities. When he decided to pick up a brush, he knew he wanted paint that would dry quickly, was water soluble - but not watercolors, and did not smell. His medium of choice was, and still is, undiluted acrylic paint on paper and canvas.
After participating in local art shows, he began applying to regional art fairs to see if the public was interested in purchasing his work. His work has been featured on the University of Iowa's website the Daily Palette; in 2002 he was chosen to display his artwork in the Iowa Governor's Mansion. One of his early 'Rooftops' paintings was selected as the January 2010 cover photo for JMCP magazine - a magazine for pharmacists. According to Sheila Macho, Cover Editor for JMCP, 'Chehak's Rooftops painting bears a slight resemblance to a Georges Braque Cubist landscape. The scene, reminiscent of an Italian village, appears to be impossibly crowded, yet believable at the same time.'
In 2015 one of his Iowa landscapes was chosen as banner art for the MFA Creative Writing Program at Iowa State University; in 2016, he finished a show at The Biomedical Research Facility at the University of Iowa Medical Campus. In 2018 he was chosen as the Commemorative Print Artist for the 25th Annual St. Louis Art Fair. In 2020 he was the poster artist for the 57th Street Art Fair in Chicago.
As described on the Des Moines based Kavanaugh Gallery's website: 'His muted colors and distinct choice of subject matter have attracted collectors throughout the nation. Many of Chehak's paintings emerge directly from his imagination.'
My art exists to capture the beauty and rhythm of everyday life, transforming familiar landscapes and urban scenes into bold, modern compositions that invite viewers to pause, reflect, and find harmony in color, shape, and light. My focus is on anything that is in front of me at any given time, of which the subject matter is conducive to bold acrylic paint strokes and monochromatic colors. I do not paint to meet the expectations of any audience. My influences are many, my style is fluid; that is, and I am willing to try numerous presentational production values.

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is extremely pleased to announce that Tatiana Anisimova 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.
Tatiana is an award-winning artist based in Canada. She was selected as 1 of the top twelve finalists in the gallery’s 31st Solo Art Exhibition Series. The placement in this competition qualified her work to be showcased in this feature.

Below are Tatiana’s Artist Biography, Artist Statement and 5 of her oil on canvas paintings submitted to this competition.
Tatiana Anisimova, MSc is a Vancouver-based visual artist with extensive experience as an artist, illustrator, and collaborator with OPUS (Canada), Grumbacher (USA), and Winsor & Newton (UK). Originally trained in biology, she holds a master’s degree and retrained in Fine Art through continuing studies at Emily Carr University, bringing a unique blend of scientific observation and artistic exploration to her work. Tatiana is represented by Ian Tan Gallery in Vancouver and is an active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists. She is widely recognized for leading art demonstrations, teaching classes, and exhibiting in both national and international shows. Her paintings are held in private collections worldwide.
This “Flowers Speak” collection explores the emotional language of flowers — not just as symbols of beauty, but as vessels of memory, fragility, and resilience. Painted on deep black-brown background, each bloom emerges from darkness with quiet intensity, revealing both vulnerability and strength. My work begins with my own photography. I look for imperfect moments: a broken petal, twisted bud, or leaning stem — signs of survival and emotion. The flowers I paint are not ornamental; they are honest. One of the works, Awakening, is dedicated to cancer survivors. Its green hydrangeas are bitten, uneven, and asymmetrical - but alive, pushing upward. It reflects the heart of this series: how even in damage, there is growth. This floral collection holds space for what remains open, tender, and beautiful - even after pain and loss.

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, which resulted in the selection of the artists who are featured in individual month-long solo art exhibitions.
Below are Maureen’s Artist Biography, her Artist Statement, along with 24 of her oil paintings. We hope that you will take the time to read Maureen’s information and to take a look at his art.
Maureen grew up in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan. She inherited her artistic abilities from her father, Dick Scullin, who was a well-known commercial artist and who worked for various advertising agencies in Detroit from the early 1960s until 2000. When Maureen was young, she began her artistic education by spending countless hours learning from her father.
After many years of studying with her dad, Maureen moved out on her own and studied at The Parsons School of Design, NYC. Before Maureen even finished college, she was accepting illustration jobs from book publishers, advertising agencies and corporate clients. She had a successful career as an illustrator for many years.
After having a family she moved to Asheville, North Carolina where she enjoyed watching her girls grow up and where her family enjoyed the beautiful mountain scenery.
Today, Maureen is a full-time artist in the Raleigh, NC area. She concentrates on creating commissioned portraits, fine art landscapes, still life paintings, and figurative artwork. “I love painting almost every day and I enjoy learning new skills and methods to apply to my artwork,” Maureen says. “There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t want to be in my studio. It’s where I feel most at home.
My art journey began in Detroit with my father’s influence. He was a commercial artist who spent countless hours teaching me about art. I moved to the NYC area and I attended Parson’s School of Art. I then became an illustrator creating book covers, magazine illustrations, as well as art for Ad agencies. Later, I turned my focus to pursuing fine art. I continually try to improve my skills by attending artist workshops and studying the great masters. There is no “safe point” for me when I feel I know all and feel comfortable and confident in my work. There’s always more to learn. It’s a bit of an anxiety ride, but worth the journey. If I can step back, look at one of my paintings and feel that I might be getting somewhere…it’s worth the ride!

To bring brightness and vibrancy to my paintings, I end them with luscious layers of oil paint.
The beauty of nature is a major source of inspiration for me, especially the incredible wildlife that surrounds us. I’m also deeply intrigued by the mysteries of the cosmos and the wonders that lie beyond our world.

Below are Iryna’s Artist Biography, Artist Statement and 5 artworks from her PEACE AND WAR project that were submitted to this competition.
Iryna Akimova is a contemporary Ukrainian artist who lives and works in Kiev. She graduated from Kharkov State University (Ukraine), where she got her PhD degree. Iryna started her professional artistic career after having vast experience as a University professor, director of an NGO, and parliamentarian. She concentrated her art research on studying the roots of the individuality in the formation of subjective perceptions of the reality.
She is fond of «exercices de style» and experiments. She often presents her expressionistic paintings along with the impressive abstract and surrealistic experiments. She started in painting, and then went into installations, video-animation and performance in order to achieve a multidimensional effect.
She had ten solo exhibitions, and took part in 50+ national and international group exhibitions. She received numerous awards at international art contests. Some of her pictures were successfully sold at Phillips auction in London, and several artworks entered museums and private collections in Ukraine, Germany, Slovakia, and China.
Iryna is a member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine. Five years ago she founded Ukrainian Association of Feminine Research in the Arts (UAFRA) and established an annual Womens’ArtFest to advocate gender equality in the arts.
The project PEACE AND WAR was started in the spring of 2022 in a small town of Tulchyn in the Vinnytsia region in Ukraine, where Iryna escaped with the family for two weeks from war. A peaceful landscape with a small pond and trees and their reflection in the water is bathed in the blue-yellow-orange color palette of the setting sun.
The author's analysis separates components of the landscape, and then synthetically mixes them into an abstract surrealistic print of a spring evening. Feel the fragile atmosphere of peace, keep it in your heart, and fight for it, when the time comes... The peaceful landscape turns into a war landscape, full of broken lines and fires that remind of cruel and greedy breath of death. The stem of a mystical plant of war fills the entire space with flames, destruction and the putrid smell of decomposition. The same motifs and colors, and different realities and feelings…War changes everything...

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is extremely pleased to announce that Lâle Gerger 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.
Lâle is an award-winning artist based in Florida, USA. She was selected as 1 of the top twelve finalists in the gallery’s 27th Solo Art Exhibition Series. The placement in this competition qualified her art to be showcased in this feature.
Lâle’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 Lâle’s Artist Biography, Artist Statement and 5 artworks that were submitted to this competition.
Lâle Gerger is artist that utilizes a blend of artistry, empathy, and resilience in her creative journey. From her theatre background to personal challenges, art has been her guiding force. Using primarily acrylics and pen and ink, Lâle delves into life's complexities, inviting viewers to embrace resilience and share their light. Her journey is a testament to the transformative power of art in navigating life's challenges and discovering purpose within adversity.
After earning her theatre degree, Lâle worked professionally in Turkey as both an actress and a faculty member at a conservatory. She fought a 5-year legal battle for the right to adopt as a single woman, reshaping her path and ultimately welcoming her son into her life. Returning to the US, she carved out a career in HR management to provide stability for her child. Amidst personal tragedy with her mother's cancer diagnosis and the onset of the pandemic, she rediscovered solace in art.
Now, her artistic journey has evolved from a hobby to a full-time business, fueled by resilience and a passion for creativity. Lâle’s artwork, spanning diverse mediums and techniques with a focus on acrylics and abstract art, reflects a unique perspective on life's complexities.
As an artist based in Florida, I create abstract art to express my emotions through color and experimentation with contrasts of dark and light. Color is more important to me than depicting realistic pictures. I love that abstract art allows the viewer, in turn, the freedom to transpose their feelings and experiences into the artwork.
My process begins with choosing a color palette and the message or story I want to convey on the canvas. Once I see these elements come to life, I step away for a day or two and return with pen and ink to add the details that complete the piece.
Although I've had a very fulfilling life, I've faced my share of difficulties, including some challenging health issues. It's also easy to see tragedies all around us. When I paint, I can put all this aside and share the beauty that is truly everywhere. I choose to uplift myself and others through my art, aiming to spread positivity and inspire hope. Through my art, I want to create an emotional connection with the viewer, inviting them to interpret and connect with the artwork in their own unique way.
My series, "Shine Your Light," embodies my vision of spreading hope and compassion through art. Each piece comes with its own message such as "Be the Sun in Someone’s Darkness", how we can all find "Light from Darkness" or even "Sunflower" carries a message of hope since they can grow tall even in adverse conditions.

Below are Nic’s Artist Biography, her Artist Statement, along with 25 of her artworks. We hope that you will take the time to read Nic’s information and to take a look at her beautiful animal oil paintings.
Over the years, Nic Tibo has always been drawn to arts, drawing and crafts. She has experimented several techniques: fashion design, decorative painting on ceramic pieces as well as different mediums: watercolor, acrylic and oil painting.
Today, she creates original art works painted in oil on gallery canvas in a realistic figurative style with sometimes a touch of abstract. You will find sober colors to very colorful work of art. The subjects represented are mostly photographed by the artist.

She participated at the Pelham Art Festival and an exhibition at Marché Bon Secours, Montreal (Plaisirs d'artistes).
My interest in the arts has always been present in various forms: drawing, painting, photography but today I realize my artistic ambitions: paint my subjects realistically, in oil paint. Painting is for me a testimony to nature that I just love. It is my main source of inspiration: landscapes, flowers and first and foremost, birds and animals.
My process begins with observing birds and wildlife in their environment. Also, visits to animal parks and sanctuaries enables me to take many pictures of various interesting species. Following my observations and research, the work takes shape several months in advance in my head. Afterwards, creation is made on canvas, closest to reality, while going into the different steps related to oil painting: layer's superposition and drying time.
Work is from background to foreground - from general to specific, striving to create something that is captivating and enjoyable to watch. The composition is edited ad manipulated until satisfaction and the main objective is to create a painting that has a sense of depth. Each painting is an opportunity for me to play with colors, lights and shadows in order to reflect this magic that only painting can manage to create.
Nic’s work can be viewed on her website.

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.

This was the 24th “Solo Art Series” Art Competition that the gallery has conducted.
Below are Deimante’s Artist Biography, her Artist Statement, along with 14 artworks. We hope that you will take the time to read Deimante’s information and to take a look at her beautiful artworks.
Deimante Bruzguliene was born in Lithuania on May 20, 1980 and came to the United Kingdom in 2004. Her love of all animals started at a very young age. She was always keen to rescue animals. Deimante is an Artist who is completely self-taught. She is breath taking realistic wildlife paintings of animals. Deimante works in a variety of media including acrylic, oil, pastel, watercolour, graphite and mixed media.
“When it is my time to leave this world, I wish to do so knowing that I have left paintings that inspire others to appreciate the beauty of the natural world.”
I have been a lifelong artist. I've been drawing since I can remember. Art class has always been my favourite class. My style is realist, as I am obsessed with detail. I have always had a deep love of animals and nature. I find inspiration in all kinds of creatures, both domestic and wildlife, big, small, or in between.
My favourite subjects are wildlife. I love drawing animals as it is a way of accessing the secrets of the natural world. I can see their souls through their eyes, which I try to capture in my paintings. Animals are as individual as humans, but for me they manifest a purer and more genuine spirit to the outside world than do human beings. I can love animals by painting them, leaving a legacy of their existence and hopefully bringing to the viewer the same joy that I experience painting them.
I would like more people to be able to experience the connection that I have with animals. I wish to take this further to really convey that animals have their own personality and soul. Every portrait I do enriches my life, for the subject enters my heart. We are all connected. Connections are magical, providing an opportunity to nurture patience, compassion, love and caring.
Deimante’s work can be viewed on her website.

Artist Biography
Self-taught painter, Patrick Egger was born in La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland in 1957.
First a forest engineer and then a teacher, it was only at the dawn of his sixties, settled in La Creusaz above Les Marécottes that painting imposed itself on him.
After experimenting with charcoal and then pastel, he finally turned to acrylic paint, which lends itself well to his very intuitive practice of working.
He paints landscapes in a figurative way, up to hyperrealism. Through his works, we perceive a persistent quest for sensations linked to the beauty of the place. Through opposing atmospheres, he likes to bring together, for example, the peacefulness of the mountain and the harshness of the alpine setting.
Patrick’s art seems both faithful to the visible and in harmony with a feeling that he seeks to magnify. His style often focuses on indirect light which gives the pattern to a particular climate.
Artist Statement
I paint in a figurative way, often touching hyperrealism, which allows me to accurately, in a detailed way, to replicate a subject.
When I paint a landscape, from a photo, I am intent on creating a strict reproduction, but occasionally changing a detail. For example, I will make a change in the vegetation or the light on the subject with its linked shadows to the atmospheric conditions, with a view to a search, a balance, a breath or an emotion.
What is imagined must remain realistic as far as I am concerned.
However, some works are totally invented. They then represent compositions of different images, more or less precise memories or simply ephemeral impressions. The difficulty no longer lies in the exact reproduction of a photo but that of a virtual image, even a feeling, without knowing the exact result. The method is empirical - the successive layers follow one another and the result is thus refined little by little. The path to the final creation is not always the most direct.

Artist Biography
Paul Kenens was born in Brussels (1947), the eldest of six children, without a father. As a 14-year-old and the breadwinner of the family, he found work in a printing house. Updated to a color mixer and offset printer for luxury printing, at the time a specialized craft, he discovered his sense of composition and color. Thirteen years later he left the printing house for a year, but never returned. He no longer wanted to depend on third parties and her started acting. In the same period, he discovered the ceramic craft.
Paul Kenens is passionate about this two disciplines, resulting in two parallel careers. As an independent actor in film, TV and theater, he worked in international theater. As a ceramist, he specialized in color glazes, designed decorations and tile panels, copied old Art Nouveaux panels, made ceramic architectural ceramics for protected monuments and performed artistic ceramics commissions for other artists and architects.
In 2010 he decided to paint and enrolled in the academy. Unaware of the gift or experience gained in painting with ceramic glazes, whose final color is not immediately visible, oil painting is one Revelation: "I can see right now that I do," he says.
He sold the ceramic workshop, stopped acting and devoted himself entirely to the painting. In the academy he was soon given the name of an outsider the passion and use of a detailed painting style. He commutes daily between academy and his own studio. In between he follows a Masterclass at the Brazilian hyperrealist Omar Ortiz
Artist Statement
My work starts with photos of a fixed fashion model and I take a few hundred photos per photo session. Different photos are edited and adapted until a certain image can no longer be recognized. The chaos in the head must be given a direction, the reminiscences that are attached to it at that moment and the intimate feelings that it arouses channeled. Multiple versions are made in an atmosphere of excitement. During the preparation, uncertainty about the future painted version flashes in all directions. One must first fall a little in love with the subject in order to paint.
I paint the first layer as detailed as possible, as if I want to finish the painting in one layer. Then I paint over the entire canvas in the same way. Shapes and colors are adjusted. I like saturated canvases without painting pasty. They bring depth to the color.
Although the starting point is photographic material, it is always a challenge to distinguish between photorealism and a painted image. Each painting is an attempt to increase the distance between the two. The whole of my work is not sterile but emotional, it shows what moves me. I view the painted canvas more critically, each time from a different state of mind or point of view, with correction as a result.
My titles sometimes raise questions, make the viewer think, it gives the viewer the opportunity to fill in their own interpretation. In the end it comes down to the fact that I partly reveal the inner through the choice made.

Artist Biography
Heather Coen in an award winning artist based in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. Her paintings have been recognized and published by every major art magazine in the United States including, Art of the West, Plein Air Magazine, American Art Collector, Colored Pencil Magazine, Southwest Art and others. She began her career by apprenticing to two major artists and then, over the coming years, took classes and workshops to hone her skills. Recently, although her career was halted by a tragedy, she has risen from the ashes and began painting with a vengeance.
She belongs to such prestigious national organizations like Oil Painters of America, Women Artists of the West, National Oil and Acrylic Painters as well as a number of local art venues. She currently has work in three different galleries in two different states including Jackson Hole and Cheyenne, Wyoming and Estes Park, Colorado.
Heather is a landscape, still life and wildlife artist. Her work comes from her many travels all over South America, Canada and the United States. They are created over many months by adding many layers of paint or pastel on a canvas or surface.
Heather believes she is, “Creating a legacy, one original at a time.”
Artist Statement
Having been born with a paint brush in my hand, my mother survived and passed on many of her artistic skills to me. Apprenticed to three master artists over a six-year period, I launched with advantages. I soon became the President of a local art organization and learned the inner workings of shows, exhibits and keeping a herd of cats going in somewhat the same direction. I was the prize coordinator for the Women Artists of the West 50th Jubilee Show which happened to coincide with the outbreak of COVID. The organization could not hold the National Show and everything had to be coordinated and shipped. It took weeks.
Overcoming adversity is a part of every artist's life. I've found that persistence, ethics and just plain being stubborn helps. I have drawers full with awards and ribbons. I became a Master Signature member of Paint America after winning a number of competitions through their venues. It took me eight years to accumulate enough points.
I also have my Signature designation with Plein Air Artists Colorado and Pastel Society of Colorado. Moving from the mountains of Colorado to the hot, dry desert in Arizona, I found that plein air work helped tremendously in changing my palette and way of thinking. It was not an easy transition.
