International best-selling author
With two international best-sellers under her belt and her third novel A Thread of Grace due out in February, 2005 (Random House), it's a miracle how Mary finds the time to answer letters from her readers -and still have dinner ready by the time Don gets home from work.
If you are an aspiring author, a devouted follower, or have recently discovered the enchanting, exotic and disturbing worlds of The Sparrow and Children of God, visiting Mary's personal site will be a treat. The 'interviews' are both illuminating and entertaining, and her 'note to authors' is as precious as Robert Rodriguez' Ten-minute film school is to would-be filmmakers.
Susana Weingarten & Tom Evert, international dance performers
Susana is not like ordinary women; Susana is an extraordinary woman. Everything about her is upfront, intense, always with purpose… but infused with an amazing visual grace of movement. Susana is a diva. To meet her is to confirm our stereotypes of what a princess should be –I know, I once met a real one. It is hard not to be attracted to her; Susana seems more feminine, more erotic, more sensual, more passionate; beautifully captivating… and yes, more dangerous than any woman you would ever meet. Maybe that’s why she is such a great artist.
Along with Adonis-like husband Tom –who has to be the most noble, nicest person on the face of the planet, Dancevert have been delighting audiences all over the world. I had to pleasure of collaborating with Susana on one of my productions and the honour of being counted among the Evert’s friends. So check out their website and get ready for a visual feast.
Ceramic Artist and Author
I met Angelica while serving on the board of Cleveland's RTA Arts-on-Transit Committee. We were considering several artists for the new line of commuter rail stations along the greater Cleveland area in an initiative to add art to public spaces.
In walked Angelica to do her presentation and at first site she was unforgettable. She is very unique in manners and appearance, pretty much a poster girl for the stereotypical artist -an the nicest person you could ever meet. With her Cuban-Puerto Rican-Afro roots, Angelica’s art was infused with all the colours and organic rhythms associated with people of Caribbean cultures.
Since then, she has become a Cleveland celebrity in her own right -and now she is also a published author. I could tell you much about Angelica, but it is best if you take a look at her work. My favourite pieces are her ‘blossom’ series shown at her gallery page. And don’t forget to read the titles! They are as creative and fun to read as the art.
Artist and Muralist Beth Gregerson
I am a very fortunate guy. Because of my profession I get to meet many wonderful and talented people -Beth Gregerson is one of those people who fit the bill. We were introduced while I was painting the mural at the Italian Village Restaurant in Strongsville, Ohio.
Beth had been an artist for American Greetings who was now making a transition into muralism so she was eager to learn more about painting murals. Gifted with technical mastery for delicate details, her portfolio work really jumped out the page. Now she wanted to be a muralist –brave soul.
Well, fast forward a few years and let me tell you, if I were not an artist but a person in need of one, I would call Beth. She is one of the few artists I know who has successfully made the transition from small work into murals. In the transition she managed to keep her colours vibrant and the brushstrokes delicate –beautiful in every way.
