August 2026 Collection

August turned out to be a wonderfully varied month in my digital studio. There was moonlight and mystery, quiet moments and unexpected encounters—and more than a little mischief along the way.

This sampler brings together the twelve pieces I created during August. Looking at them together, I’m always interested to see the threads that seem to connect the work even when I wasn’t consciously creating a series. This month, light, storytelling, animals and a touch of magic seemed to find their way into many of the pieces.

Some are quiet and contemplative, while others make me smile. Each began with a different idea, but all became part of my creative journey through August.

I hope you enjoy this look back at the month’s work.

August Art 2026

August brought a collection of stories—some touched by moonlight, some by magic, and a few that simply refused to behave.

This month’s Art in Motion collection brings together twelve new works, from quiet and mysterious moments to the more whimsical characters who found their way into my imagination. Seen together and accompanied by music, they become a small journey through the different moods and stories that shaped my art during August.

I hope you enjoy the journey.

August 2026

I’m very happy to share that two of my artworks, When the Moon Bloomed and The Keeper of Lost Stars, have been selected for publication in the August issue of Living the Photo Artistic Life magazine. You can find both pieces on page 6.

These two are especially meaningful to me. Both grew from that place between imagination and possibility, where even in the darkness, there is always a little light to find.

It is such an honor to see my work included alongside the beautiful and imaginative art of artists from around the world. I’m very grateful to be part of this month’s issue, and especially grateful to all of you who continue to follow, share, and encourage my work.

July Art in Motion

Jully 2026

I'm delighted to share that two of my images, A Beautiful Day and Before the Day Begins, have been published in the July issue of Living the Photo Artistic Life magazine.

Although they tell very different stories, both pieces are quiet reflections on hope, possibility, and those moments that invite us to pause and imagine what lies just beyond the horizon.

It is always an honor to have my work included among so many talented artists from around the world. I'm sincerely grateful for the opportunity and to everyone who continues to encourage and support my creative journey.
