Mobile Art – Appstracts – App for Carolyn Hall Young

Recently, the mobile art Facebook group, Appstracts, administrated by Roger Guetta and Grant Basma Horsnell asked of the group to create a mobile art image for dear Carolyn Hall Young, who is currently very unwell.

I have gathered all the images together to make one video showcase to share with you all. (Please do note, that I have gone through the group several times, searching for all the images for this particular showcase and I believe I have included everyone, if not, please just let me know and I will add you).

Many congratulations to the following artists and thank you all so much for creating these images for Carolyn:

Antonio Mojica, Grace Rachow, Marsha Estes, Carol Wiebe, Clint Cline, Violet Martins, Patricia Januszkiewicz, Lee Atwell, Ile Mont, Jo Sullivan, Giulia Baita, Catherine Schell Caddigan, Kate Zari Roberts, Roger Guetta, Daria Stermac, Sukru Mehmet Omur, Judy Tillson, Beka Schiller, Celle Placzek, Stephanie Paloni Chupein, Liliana Schwitter, Jerry Jobe, Juta Jazz, Gail Dohrmann, Mary Dettloff, Marguerite Khoury, Leon Williams, Pam Blackstone, Eric L Raddatz.

I have also been asked to mention Carolyn’s GoFundMe fund that has been set up by some school friends of Carolyn to help with her medical expenses. Here’s a link to find out more about that.

Joanne Carter, creator of the world’s most popular mobile photography and art website— TheAppWhisperer.com— TheAppWhisperer platform has been a pivotal cyberspace for mobile artists of all abilities to learn about, to explore, to celebrate and to share mobile artworks. Joanne’s compassion, inclusivity, and humility are hallmarks in all that she does, and is particularly evident in the platform she has built. In her words, “We all have the potential to remove ourselves from the centre of any circle and to expand a sphere of compassion outward; to include everyone interested in mobile art, ensuring every artist is within reach”, she has said. Promotion of mobile artists and the art form as a primary medium in today’s art world, has become her life’s focus. She has presented lectures bolstering mobile artists and their art from as far away as the Museum of Art in Seoul, South Korea to closer to her home in the UK at Focus on Imaging. Her experience as a jurist for mobile art competitions includes: Portugal, Canada, US, S Korea, UK and Italy. And her travels pioneering the breadth of mobile art includes key events in: Frankfurt, Naples, Amalfi Coast, Paris, Brazil, London. Pioneering the world’s first mobile art online gallery - TheAppWhispererPrintSales.com has extended her reach even further, shipping from London, UK to clients in the US, Europe and The Far East to a global group of collectors looking for exclusive art to hang in their homes and offices. The online gallery specialises in prints for discerning collectors of unique, previously unseen signed limited edition art. Her journey towards becoming The App Whisperer, includes (but is not limited to) working for a paparazzi photo agency for several years and as a deputy editor for a photo print magazine. Her own freelance photographic journalistic work is also widely acclaimed. She has been published extensively both within the UK and the US in national and international titles. These include The Times, The Sunday Times, The Guardian, Popular Photography & Imaging, dpreview, NikonPro, Which? and more recently with the BBC as a Contributor, Columnist at Vogue Italia and Contributing Editor at LensCulture. Her professional photography has also been widely exhibited throughout Europe, including Italy, Portugal and the UK.

    Joanne, thank you for the mobile art images for Carolyn. I am one of her many friends from high school 40 years ago! She and I first met in art classes. It seems only right that you who are fellow mobile artists are kindred spirits with us, all pulling for our sweet and kind friend Carolyn.
