Through Owl's Eyes...

Some artists challenge the way we see the world. SIsi Beidermann reminds us to notice the beauty that has been there all along. I first encountered Sisi Biedermann’s work while visiting exhibitions around Second Life, most recently at Rainbow Painters. Her paintings immediately caught my attention. They stood out from much of the artwork I had been seeing—filled with gardens, flowers, quiet…

Traveler’s Station . Every virtual world needs people who remind us there is still something left to discover. In Second Life, one of those people is Tripp Foxtail. By the time I spoke with him, Travelers Station was on the verge of welcoming its 8,000th traveler—a milestone measured not in clicks or teleports, but in journeys begun. Created by Tripp Foxtail, Travelers Station has become one…

Standing above the Linden Sea, the Corsica Tourist Center & Tea Garden offers more than beautiful scenery. It is a gathering place, an information hub, the beginning of the Art Trail, home to a donkey sanctuary, and a starting point for many adventures. From here, visitors can hike Monte Corse, drive the Circuit de Corse, explore local horse trails, or take to the skies in a hang glider for a…

High on a bluff, looking out over the water, sits a small Baroque chapel ( ST. Maria of the Good)that feels like it belongs to a story already in progress. I wasn’t looking for a church. But Second Life has a way of putting things in front of you that ask you to stop and notice. St. Maria of the Good is inspired by a real church in Bavaria, and like many places in Second Life it carries more…

AmandaT Tamatzui is not an artist whose work you simply admire from a distance. She is an artist who makes you curious. Amanda is a friend through Second Life’s art community, and her work has been part of my Second Life journey for several years. I’ve admired her paintings in galleries, visited her exhibits, and enjoyed seeing where her creativity has taken her. However,this time I wasn’t…

My first encounter with Scylla Rhiadra was several years ago through Intimacy, an exhibition exploring identity, self-representation, and the ways our virtual selves can reveal truths about who we are. I don’t remember every image from that visit, but I do remember leaving very impressed. Since then, I’ve crossed paths with Scylla’s work more than once. When I invited her to exhibit at Salt…

United Headquarters in Second Life is a social club, gallery, and creative space designed to bring people together through art, music, and shared experience. I was introduced to United Headquarters by Pagan Lane, an artist and the creative force behind the space. Like many spaces in Second Life, this one came to me through connection—through the people who move between galleries, music, and…

The Arts Festival 2026, created by Yoona and inspired by UNESCO’s World Art Day. It is a month-long invitation to wander beyond familiar paths and discover galleries across the grid . This year, the focus turns toward the galleries themselves — the curators, the spaces, the atmosphere each one creates. Explore the full festival here:The ARTs Festival site. As part of the Festival, I visited…

Guest Artists Chosen by the artists themselves. As part of The ARTs Festival 2026, each resident at Cloud Galleries was invited to extend the circle — to bring one guest. Not randomly selected.Not curated from afar. Chosen by the people who know the work best. This is that circle. 📍 Teleport to Cloud Galleries The corridor feels different during the Art Walk. Work steps outside the…

We continue through Cloud Galleries in Second Life — stepping deeper into resident spaces and the shifting tones that shape them. As before, the artists appear in the order you encounter them while walking the galleries. This remains a spatial journey. The path continues. 📍 Teleport to Cloud Galleries Giselle Seeker Giselle Seeker creates from her inner landscape — no references, no…

Twenty resident artists.Each gallery designed by the artist.Each one its own voice. Seventeen galleries are stewarded by Owl Dragonash. Three neighboring spaces are curated by Ceakay Ballyhoo.

There’s a kite string pulling upward over a misty canal, two dogs watching from a bridge below. A ghost-grey island settlement reflected perfectly in still water. Herons perched on coastal rock. A torii gate rising from a sepia sea. And then, just when the mood settles: pitcher plants in stark monochrome, or white reeds erupting against a blood-red sky. This is a collection that earns your…

At Hippiestock 2026, Lyric Luna was doing what she has loved since her early days in Second Life. Taking photographs. She and her partner were dressed in full hippie spirit, soaking in the scene. She was quietly capturing moments the way she always does. Not for any particular reason, just because something felt worth keeping. There was a photo contest running. She entered one picture, just for…

A wandering through Jade Koltai’s Inis Oírr in Second Life. The tide was already going out when I reached the harbor.Not quickly—nothing here moved quickly—but with the steady patience of something that had done this longer than memory. The water peeled itself away from the rocks, leaving dark lines behind, as if the shore were keeping score. The tide does not erase. It rearranges. A gull…
