SPECIAL INVITATION
 
Artisan Design Group is pleased to announce our December
Artists Night, which will celebrate the "CALIFORNIA COUTURE"
of three unique local artists:
 
"Luminous Views of San Diego" Photographic Exhibit
By Michael James Slattery, Jr.
Famous painters have captured the beauty of dusk and dawn
forever. Creating just the right light is one of the greatest challenges
photographers face.  While our eyes see 100 tones from black to

white, a camera can only capture four of those tones.  Now

through old camera techniques, remarkable light capturing

technology and archival printing methods, Michael James
Slattery, Jr. creates "Luminous Views" that captivate

our imagination and celebrate the light in our surroundings.
           
Sigafoos Glass Originals
By Mark Sigafoos.
If you've been to the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, you probably
marveled at  the 2,000 hand-blown glass flowers adorning the

lobby ceiling. Mark Sigafoos was one of the artists who worked

on the "Fiori di Como", a stunning creation of world-renowned

master Dale Chihuly. For the past six years, Mark has been
firing glass in his San Diego studio creating traditional, fluted, and
flattened vases; decorative plates, giant clamshells, unique

bullet shapes, swan necks, and spinning tops. Mark uses

copper mesh in many of his vases, producing shimmering gold

highlights and dramatic swirling colors.
 
"California Color" Originals
By Marie Tippets.
Dana Point resident artist Marie Tippets celebrates the vibrant
colors of the Southern California ocean front ambiance

through her unique collection of original chalk images.
