Everyone can paint pretty pictures, but I have been making a strong statement over the past decade." Delray Beach resident Rubin Levine, 84, is leaving a legacy of peace in his artwork. For the past 10 years, he has been creating art that makes social statements. His latest piece, “A Mosaic of International Stop Signs to Stop All Wars,“ was displayed 3 weeks ago at the Hoochman Jewish Community Center, in Boynton Beach, Fla. Levine also has painted on the oil crisis in America, combining different religions peacefully, and on the green house effect. “I want my grandkids to see what I’ve done and know what their grandfather was all about." Levine has been creating art since his early days as the creative director, curator of the U.S. War Information Center.

Jon Chodat...An Inspirational Adirondack Photograher “Into a Different World” Photography has made Jon Chodat more aware of the world around him. It enables him to look at the big picture as well as smaller details. By standing on a mountain top or crawling around on a forest floor, he has learned to appreciate the simplicity and complexities of life. Jon feels that taking a photograph is “capturing a slice of an ongoing story. Whether it is the smile of a child, the mist on a lake or the flight of a bird, it is a moment which has a past and a future and it tells a story. I hope that the viewer can appreciate and take with them a unique view of the story found in my photographs.” Jon has been involved in photography in one way or another most of his life. As he moves closer to retirement, he plans on immersing himself fully in the art of photography. His future plans include developing a studio and gallery on his Adirondack property. This indoor and outdoor space will be available for wedding and portraiture photo sessions and future workshops. Jon is primarily self-taught and continues to learn and experience photography into the digital age. His photos can be viewed at forARTSake or at his studio
“Canadian Trio" Over the years, Jon has entered a number of regional shows and has received several awards. He won Best in Photography at the VIC Center’s annual autumn Adirondack theme exhibit in 2006 for his photo entitled “Canadian Trio”, and again In 2007, he won, but this time his photo “Into a Different World” won Best of Show.
