Cumming Exhibit-Celebrate

I'm happy to share that three of my digital artworks will be on display at the Cumming Arts Center as part of their upcoming Celebrate Exhibit, running from October 21, 2026, through January 9, 2027. The three pieces I've selected are “A Moment of Solitude,” “A Pause in Passing,” and “The Curious Watcher.” Although each tells a different story, they share a quieter, more contemplative side of my artwork, with a little mystery and a few watchful companions along the way.

I'm delighted to be participating in another exhibit at the Arts Center and grateful for the opportunity to share my work with visitors to our local arts community. If you're in the Cumming area, I hope you'll have an opportunity to stop by and enjoy the exhibit. There will be wonderful artwork from many talented local artists!

October 2026

I'm pleased to share that two of my digital artworks, Overnight, She Bloomed and The Butterfly Boat, are featured in the October 2026 issue (No. 140) of Living the Photo Artistic Life magazine.

Although quite different in mood and style, both pieces reflect my love of storytelling through digital art. Overnight, She Bloomed explores a quiet moment of transformation, with its romantic, painterly atmosphere, while The Butterfly Boat offers a more whimsical journey filled with color, movement, and imagination.

It's always a pleasure to have my work included in this wonderful publication alongside the creations of so many talented photo artists. My thanks to Sebastian Michaels and the editorial team for their continued support of the digital art community.

Both artworks appear on page 51 of the October issue.

September 2026 Collection

September brought a change of seasons to my digital studio, along with a collection of stories inspired by autumn, mystery, and a little imagination.

There were misty mornings, moonlit forests, unexpected encounters, and characters who seemed to have stories of their own to tell. Some pieces were quiet and contemplative, while others took a more whimsical turn. As always, I never quite know where an idea will lead until I begin creating.

This sampler brings together the fifteen pieces I created during September. Although each began as a separate idea, looking at them together reveals a common thread of atmosphere, storytelling, and those small moments when the ordinary becomes something a little extraordinary.

I hope you enjoy this glimpse into my creative journey through September.

September Art 2026

September seemed to arrive quietly in my artwork this year, bringing autumn winds, misty landscapes, moonlit nights, and more than a little magic.

This month's Art in Motion collection brings together fifteen new digital artworks, each with its own little story. From mysterious forests and unexpected visitors to whimsical encounters and journeys into the unknown, the collection reflects the changing moods and imagination that shaped my work throughout September.

Accompanied by music, these individual pieces become a visual journey through the month, moving between quiet moments, gentle humor, and a touch of the extraordinary.

I hope you enjoy the journey.
