Augmented Reality allows what is intangible to become present, and what is far away to feel close.


Augmented Reality occurs when digital works are layered into physical spaces. By doing so, the gap between your here and my here is bridged, as is the gap between you and me, between your reality and mine. Not only space but also time zones are bridged. In a shared,  augmented space, what separates us begins to dissolve. 


I am honoured that my iPhoneart will be shown in AR in Balanced Forces: NYC. This will be an augmented reality public art walk taking place in the heart of New York City on International Peace Day, 21 September 2025.


On that day, the city will become a canvas for voices and visions from around the globe. Visitors will have their realities augmented not just digitally, but emotionally.


Included might be the artworks of artists from unstable or unsafe environments where traditional exhibition opportunities are way out of reach. Physical galleries may be inaccessible, resources scarce, and travel impossible.


On International Peace Day artists in the exhibition and all those who join the public art walk, will be reminded of our shared humanity. 


As strangers pause, lift their phones and enter the world of each artist and encounter their vision, they will see something that is not bound by walls, borders or limits.  They will experience artworks that  have the ability to dissolve distance and to connect people who many never meet in person. They will encounter art that is not confined to gallery walls or limited by geography. 


Art can live in augmented reality, rising in public spaces for anyone to encounter.  


Color Healing
Color Healing

As an iPhone artist, my work explores the interplay of stillness and movement occurring simultaneously. Color Healing is a visual meditation, inviting viewers to experience color as a vibrational force that can restore balance and foster peace. The artwork offers a moment of quiet contemplation amidst motion, and is a reminder of the healing potential found in presence and perception.


The Balanced Forces: NYC art walk takes place between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM EST in Bryant Park and the starting point is Margaritaville Resort, 560 Seventh Avenue, New York  Live Streaming Event. 1 October 2025 > for info
