New Havenlight Artists in 2026
Sabrina Squires
Layers are a theme in my work, which begins with a layer of altered National Geographic pages and builds through coats of ink, charcoal, and acrylic paint. The symbols of nature and the formal elements of art become vehicles through which I can explore spiritual concepts, whether simple or complex.
Stephen Lyman
1957 - 1996
Born in 1957 in Idaho, wildlife artist Stephen Lyman was an explorer who specialized in painting the most elusive moments in nature. His inspiring work was inspired, in turn, by the writing and teachings of famous naturalist John Muir. "Muir wrote, 'Climb the mountains, and get their good tidings,'" Lyman said. "I know exactly what he meant."

My paintings are created with the intention of telling meaningful stories, particularly those that celebrate family and legacy. I believe in the power of art to capture life’s most sacred moments, becoming heirlooms that accompany each generation with beauty and reverence. I’m especially drawn to scenes that reflect my faith and love for the natural world.
Joyana Samsel
With 20 years of portrait photography under my belt, my passion lies in capturing people's authenticity. The temple grounds became my sanctuary, a place of solitude, peace, and light.
