BARBARA WASSERMAN
 
COLLECTION
 
DECEMBER 7 - JANUARY 28
 
Barbara Wasserman’s formal art education began at the age of nine when she attended Saturday morning classes for children at Pratt University in Brooklyn, New York. She later attended the Program For Gifted Child Artists at Pratt Institute. Before she finished college her work was already being accepted in various juried shows around Manhattan. The first juror to recognize this talented young artist was Milton Avery at the New York Center Gallery.
She then went on to achieve a BA in Art Education at Hofstra University and an MA in Art Education at New York University, as well as an Engraving Certificate at La Esmeralda – Belle Art de Mexico.
She left New York in her twenties to live in Mexico City. She spent almost twenty years there from the late 50’s to the late 70’s, becoming part of the Mexican art scene. Her recognition included being one of the artists in the University of Texas permanent collection entitled “Image of Mexico II.”
 Barbara’s work is exhibited locally in both the Boca Raton Museum of Art and the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art in Florida as well as the Asheville Art Museum in North Carolina. She has also had several gallery shows in the United States and her work was included in a group show at the Jewish museum of Florida in Miami during Art Basel.

Boca Raton is currently Barbara’s home and is where she was recently married. In addition to continuing with her own work, she also teaches art classes one day a week at the Boca Raton Museum of Art.

Photography Art Exhibit Minimize

Photography Art Exhibit @ the library ( Susan and Bob Schwartzman Collection)

Photography is both an art and a science. Photography allows us to express our feeling and emotions, but to do so we need to master the scientific part of the medium. Unlike a painter, who is in direct contact with his subject and his canvas, a photographer is separated from his subject by the camera and from his "canvas" by computers and printers today and by darkroom equipment previously.   Susan and Bob Schwartzman complete collection can be seen @ the library through April.

Misu Bunny's Little Show Minimize

 Art Exhibit @ the library (Misoo Filan’s Little Bunny Show)

Highland Beach Library is privileged to have had an exhibit by Highland Beach resident Misoo Filan. Ms Filan currently attends Florida Atlantic University where she is a member of the winter graduation class. Her BFA degree is in Studio Art with a concentration in painting.
 
Misoo Filan was born in Bronx, NY, moved to Korea when she was a year old and was raised there until she was eighteen. When she came back to the United States, she started painting as a way to communicate her feelings.
Misoo Filan’s large, figurative paintings represent self portraits and the backgrounds portray her childhood. Her favorite medium is acrylic paint mixed with lots of water. According to Misso Filan, “Paint dripping on canvas and on wood panels make me feel relaxed and peaceful.” She imagines her drips as waterfalls of her mind. This spring, she won the Delray Beach Art League Award and is planning to attend graduate school next fall.

Below you will find a sample of the art currently on exhibit at the library.  Stop in to see the rest of this collection.
