Reflections Through a DeafLens

Greetings,

Leon Lim is a 2004 graduate of Rochester Institute of Technology. He was recently featured in the Korean Times. He is an incredibly gifted artist and if you ever have the good fortune to meet him and view his work, you'll see what I mean. He is charming and delightful. His works makes you stop and wonder.

I met him when he was an university student and have tried to follow his career, meeting him here and there at Deaf Film Festivals and art exhibits. I saw him again about a year ago at the VSA Renascence/07 art exhibit at The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. He was one of a handful of artists invited to participate.

When he is not travelling world wide, he works as a designer and photographer in New York City. If you are interested in investing in art, you might want to think about his work.

Just thought you'd like to know.

Stay tuned,

Jane

Greetings friends,

It's been a while since I've posted. I've been focusing on projects and now that I'm up for air, I thought I'd share some of the new additions to the blogroll.

Our friend, Bernard Bragg has just unveiled a beautiful site. A bit of news: he and Phyllis Frelich were just honored at the National Association of the Deaf Conference in New Orleans. They were each presented with an Lifetime Achievement Award by NAD.  You can see Bernard and Phyllis being individually interviewed by Amy Cohen Efron. Congratulations.

Rosa Lee, a multi media performer and her brother, Frank recently created a new web-zine, Kiss-Fist. It's fun, zany, thoughful and enjoyable. Take a look and add it to your bookmark list.

Amy Edwards, former Miss Deaf America has a fascinating site which showcases her talent and skill as a film animator. Makes you realize what it takes to make it in the field.

New Zealand photographer Robyn Carter, New Zealand specializes in macro photography. In addition to her blog, you can see her work on Deviantart.

There are many more to come and I'll try to post them as soon as I can.

Stay tuned,

Jane
