A message from Paula Lumbard, a benefactor of TheAppWhisperer…
My eyes filled with tears as I read this message on Facebook from one of my dear friends and long time benefactor to TheAppWhisperer. Paula is a woman who employs the same quantity and quality of time into her business as I do within TheAppWhisperer. Like Paula, I don’t avoid tough challenges, I don’t fear breaking the rules, I never allow artists to limit their potential, more than anything, I try to increase every artists resilience in their own art and I adore doing so. Paula’s contributions have helped to keep TheAppWhisperer afloat in many dire times. Right now, it’s hard for artist’s to support others and many of our…
Mobile Photography and Art Flickr/Instagram Showcase – 7 June 2020
It’s no secret that I have been romantically linked with a vast number of visually literate artforms over the years. Art raises awareness and elicits empathy for the matters at stake but sometimes we have to bend the message towards a more subjective and conceptualised direction. When I make art, it’s intimate, romantic, dramatic, confessional, I am metaphorically seduced. I’ll never tire of romance, it’s the only vice I have and my production is expeditious. Collectively, we have to believe that art has this power, this charisma, potential for magic and you don’t need to look further than this weeks Mobile Photography and Art showcase for that. Enjoy! If you…

Mobile Photography and Art Flickr/Instagram Showcase – 31 May 2020
“The task of a philosophy of photography is to reflect upon the possibility of freedom – and thus its significance – in a world dominated by apparatuses [cameras], to reflect upon the way in which, despite everything, it is possible for human beings to give significance to their lives in face of the chance necessity of death. Such a philosophy is necessary because it is the only form of revolution left open to us”. A quote from Towards a Philosophy of Photography by Vilém Flusser, 2000, I’ve been reading this week. It’s an interesting account modelling a distinction between ‘light writing’ (photography) and writing text itself. It’s a good academic…

Mobile Symphonies Exhibition – Call for Entries
TheAppWhisperer.com, together with Jane Schultz and Peter Wilkin from Edit From The Soul and @ig_artistry, are thrilled to launch a joint Call to Exhibit. The Theme: Mobile Symphonies There is no doubt that Music can inspire the art that we create. It can touch us deeply, stir our emotions and tap into parts of us that words alone cannot reach. In a matter of seconds it can draw us in and completely change our mood with its rhythms, colours, shapes, textures, and tones. For many mobile artists their artistic practice hovers on the borderline of painting, photography and music. This paradox relates to the sublime, the experienced greatness of something.…
