Word Flight and Light

I'm thrilled and thankful to have 4 composite images in the "Till We Meet Again" exhibition at The Paris Bohemian Gallery. The show opens November 15, just in time for Paris' Jingle Bell Night, where there will be extended shopping hours and lots of fun festivities like lighting the town's Christmas tree. Next week, you're invited to an evening reception on November 22 to celebrate this art exhibition. I hope to see you at the gallery!

Happy World Photography Day! 📷 Photography is all about light. The sweet balance of ISO, aperture, and shutter speed - the exposure triad of photography - gives photographers nearly magical powers. Decrease the shutter speed, open the aperture, and suddenly, rushing water transforms into a tapestry of velvety threads.

I returned home from a two-week vacation to find my art waiting for me. It's surreal to see one of my composite images on the cover of Honeyguide Literary Magazine and an absolute honour to be the Aureate Prize Winner of this issue filled with poignant stories, beautiful poetry, and glorious visual art.
It also seems fitting that my work should be published in an issue dedicated to reptiles in the year that I touch a snake for the first time. Gusselda, a Black Ratsnake and Salthaven Wildlife Rehabilitation & Education Centre Inc. Wildlife Ambassador, felt velvety. I felt foolish for being scared of her.
You can read this issue online for free at https://www.honeyguidemag.com.
Proceeds from sales of PDFs and print copies are donated to the nonprofit organization Advocates For Snake Preservation (ASP).
Enjoy reading the magazine!

It's such a joy seeing my work on the cover of this magazine, especially as I know Honeyguide Literary Magazine will donate a portion of sales to support ASP (Advocates for Snake Preservation).

Preorders are available for our reptile issue. I feel like I say this with every issue, but I’ve been wanting to publish one like this since we started. So excited for Saturday!
