Introducing Photographer Dean Ignacio
10.23.11 Filed in: new artists | photography
San Francisco photographer Dean Ignacio joins ARTvision with three stunning images from Folsom Street Fair. Dean was introduced to us through Eric Do, a fan and good friend.
“Adventures in Scavenging” by Dean Ignacio
“Where’s the Shower Dial?” by Dean Ignacio
“There’s No Place Like Folsom” by Dean Ignacio
All three of these pieces are being framed by ARTvision sponsor Rose Squared Gallery & Framing in Decatur. They will be offered as a collection or individually. More on pricing, sizes and specs coming soon.
Two years ago, Dean created a series of photos taken around San Francisco as a response to the lack of originality the city had been depicted over the decades. Because of its richness of local color, Dean's album became a hit and was warmly (and critically) praised by his friends and peers.
Currently, he is a History of Art major at the University of California, Berkeley with the hopes of becoming a photojournalist or a travel correspondent.

Artist Sneak Peek: Vicky Croisant
10.20.11 Filed in: photography | new artists
(20 October 2011 - Atlanta) :: Photographer and zoo keeper Vicky Croisant comes to ARTvision as a buyer of one of Julia Murney’s 2010 offerings, “Blooming Coconut.” Her generosity was critical in earning us close to $12,000 in earnings last year; she expressed interest in donating some animal photography for this year’s event. As you’ll see, it’s a good thing we said “yes.”
“Standing Strong” by Vicky Croisant
“Cruisin’ the Pool” by Vicky Croisant
As the Wild Animal Keeper at the Akron Zoo in Ohio, Vicky has unique access to some of the most beautiful and expressive animals on the planet. With “restoreARTive” as our 2011 theme, Vicky chose “Tamarr” (top) and “Aletta” as animal-kingdom examples of how animals can soothe the soul.
More info about size, media and pricing coming soon.

Paula Ettelbrick, Early ARTvision Supporter, Dies At 56
(17 October 2011 - Atlanta) :: Paula Ettelbrick, a national LGBT human-rights advocate and early ARTvision Atlanta supporter, died Friday in New York of complications from cancer. She was 56.As a friend and colleague of my aunt Betsy Weedon - in whose memory ARTvision was founded - Paula was an unshakable force in critical advocacy roles, including the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, the Empire State Pride Agenda and, most recently, the Stonewall Community Foundation.
From The Advocate:Cary Alan Johnson, executive director of the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission, which Ettelbrick led before joining the Stonewall Community Foundation last year, paid one of many tributes to her.
“Paula was so many things to so many people — her family, the movement, the New York City and global queer communities,” he wrote in an email. “First and foremost I can say that I found her to be so genuinely deeply unfalteringly committed to our liberation as LGBT people.”
Johnson is correct. Ettelbrick responded enthusiastically when I approached her for ARTvision’s inaugural year, and with a handful of enthusiastic, generous artists, we raised more than $1,400. Thanks to her that initial support, we’ve since raised nearly $26,000 for three different charities - most recently, Atlanta’s own Positive Impact.
Paula will be greatly missed, and our hearts go out to her entire family. Links to other news stories posted below. - WP

Artist Sneak Peek: Gordon Stuedler
10.16.11 Filed in: photography | new artists
(16 October 2011 - Atlanta) :: Photographer Gordon Stuedler comes to ARTvision via Twitter. After I noticed one of his snazzy shots, I clicked over to his gallery and, needless to say, was struck by his vision and sense of composition.
“Palm Lagoon” is one of the best statements of ARTvision-6’s theme, “restoreARTive,” because it embodies an uncomplicated, calm, infinite serenity usually reserved for our imaginations.
“Palm Lagoon” by Gordon Stuedler
“Believe it or not, 'Palm Lagoon' is not a lagoon,” he says. “It is part of a palm grove the morning after a very heavy rainfall. The water in between the palms was probably about 6" deep.”
