Hey there!

It as been awhile. This year has been a year of learning for me; ICM photography, second website and starting an accessory line with scarves based on my paintings! I have started two new businesses to add to my original fine art contemporary painting business!

I dove head first into ICM, (Intentional Camera Movement), photography in March. I have always admired this kind of photography. ICM photographer Thea Schrack is one of the first artists I encountered doing this type of work many years ago. This type of photography is very etherial, light filled and other worldly. I wanted to learn how to create this type of image as I think it compliments my painting style really well.

I found a wonderful ICM workshop called My Beautiful Scotland, run by the talented Shona Perkins. I joined her and photographer Eugene Theron in Wales and it was a phenomenal experience. All the participants were experienced photographers, each with their own vision/style for their work. Knowing composition, values and color theory helped me to hold my own with this group and they were all amazed by my photos when we had the first critique.

I am very happy with what I learned and my photos and wanted to share them with my followers so I decided to launch a second website to sell my ICM photos, Cynthia McLoughlin Studio. There has been a lot to learn but I found a good company and the site gives you a couple of options so you can style the image to fit your personal vibe; modern acrylic print on metal, metal with a slick 1/4″acrylic facing, traditional, printed on fine art paper with or without a mat and frame. Just point and click and it will ship directly to you! I am offering 20% off your first order, just sign up with your email!

This image captures “Marmoris” which is a rare latin work for the shining, marbled surface of the ocean. I just love that. I’m so excited to share this new piece from my very first series—a meditation on the quiet beauty of the shoreline, captured through intentional blur and luminous light. This work invites you to pause, breathe, and experience the stillness of nature in a new way.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Your support means the world.

With gratitude,
Cynthia
