Presenting Digital Art’s Week! August 4 – 8, 2025 at Castle Hill in Truro Massachusetts
As we all know, digital art is a growing form of artistic expression that uses a combination of smartphones, iPads, camera apps and post-processing apps to generate new imagery.

Mobile Art Course – “Painting With Light : Creative Long Exposure Mobile Photography” by Nicki Fitz-Gerald
I am delighted to promote this brand new mobile art course created by internationally acclaimed artist, author, and instructor Nicki Fitz-Gerald. This course offers a way to create unique mobile art images that allow light to be recorded, slowly, over a period of time as a still image. The results are quite different from traditional long exposure photography. Nicki begins with the most popular (and familiar) effects, but then quickly moves on to the more creative side of long exposure photography … showing us how the very nature of long exposure of photography on an iPhone can be very different from what can be achieved on a DLSR camera. Indeed,…

Mobile Photographer Rachael Short Explores the Beauty of Simplicity with iPhone
California-based photographer Rachael Short likes to keep things simple. Shooting photographs around Carmel, California, she searches for new textures, lighting and contrasts to capture in her portraits and landscapes. She prefers black and white, brushing off colour as a distraction. “Life is so chaotic, so it’s something to simplify and calm things down,” Short explains. In 2010 at age 28, Short suffered a spinal cord injury in a car accident along California’s Highway 1 on Halloween night. She was diagnosed with a C5 fracture in her spine. She was quadriplegic.
