Wasserman Design: Modern Illumination Art, Calligraphies, Drawings and Paintings
Artist Statement, Joanne C. Wasserman:
I am an artist creating original works that illuminate people's purposes, plus, other life marvels.
MODERN ILLUMINATION ART, CALLIGRAPHIES, DRAWINGS and PAINTINGS---In these realms I convey character by drawing out particularities of existence which belong to the subjects matter, to show their natures in art as being perceptible, harmonious, and beautiful in individual complexity. My work enlivens the way in for viewers to wander through conditions unfolding---seeing for themselves the common ground between the theme of the Art and some one person’s identity, or that of a business, non-profit group, or institution.
These are research-based works of art capable of expressing my clients' ongoing successes with their good and diverse missions. The Art end results inspire viewer interpretive understanding for they bear: strong vision; variety in ideas; lucid manifestation of the topic; colors singing in lyrical harmony; energetic pages' and canvases' layout; fine calligraphy---and, are reproducible in print.
Artist Statement, Joanne C. Wasserman:
I am an artist creating original works that illuminate people's purposes, plus, other life marvels.
MODERN ILLUMINATION ART, CALLIGRAPHIES, DRAWINGS and PAINTINGS---In these realms I convey character by drawing out particularities of existence which belong to the subjects matter, to show their natures in art as being perceptible, harmonious, and beautiful in individual complexity. My work enlivens the way in for viewers to wander through conditions unfolding---seeing for themselves the common ground between the theme of the Art and some one person’s identity, or that of a business, non-profit group, or institution.
These are research-based works of art capable of expressing my clients' ongoing successes with their good and diverse missions. The Art end results inspire viewer interpretive understanding for they bear: strong vision; variety in ideas; lucid manifestation of the topic; colors singing in lyrical harmony; energetic pages' and canvases' layout; fine calligraphy---and, are reproducible in print.

Stephanie Firestone Sculptures
Stephanie Firestone creates ceramic sculptures with terracotta clay and Raku firing. She also paints in acrylics.
“I was introduced to art at an early age and took special interest in the organic forms of the human figure, which is a constant for much of my work. The body of work presented in this website includes ceramics, painting and mixed media. The medium I choose presently is clay but I am evolving into adding wood, wire, and found objects. Ceramics are typically either low-fire terra cotta and adding paint or a patina; or with the spontaneous outdoor Raku method of firing. Every now and then a stoneware platter comes out of the studio session!”

A Monda Raquel Webb Film: Zoo (Volkerschau)

In all things, embrace the happy. My ultimate goal is the pursuit of happiness. Writing is my way of crying, of analyzing my life, of transcending my dying. Writing is my voice, personified.
I met Monda at a Listening course, and when she stood up to introduce herself, she was confident, expressive, and on fire! Within a year, she became an award-winning screenwriter; now she is film maker.
