  • Noreen Braman
    Noreen Braman
    Author; Designer; Lecturer; Literature: Childrens, Fiction, Non-Fiction, Poetry; photographer, digital photography artist
    I am the author of “Treading Water,” a collection of my humor columns and essays, and  “A Bouquet of Roses” a collection of shorts stories previously published in other places.. My poetry, fiction and non-fiction have appeared in print and online and also produced as stage readings and a radio play. I admires Shirley Jackson, sharing her penchant for both humor and horror. Links to some of my online writing, online portfolio and books can be found at www.noreenbraman.com As a photographer and a poet, capturing the essence a moment is paramount, whether by painting a picture with words, or creating digital art from a photograph. Photography and poetry have much in common and form, the line is often blurred; poetry conjuring an image, and photography inspiring lyrical words. In my digital art as well as my writing, I look to capture and preserve both real and imagined moments in time. My photography has been featured in several online magazines, and the NJ Law Center Art Show. As a lifelong storyteller I use that concept in artistic pursuits, professional work as a graphic designer and in keynote presentations and workshops centered on the importance of enhancing well being, whether that is through writing, artistic expression, or laughter. My graphic design work reflects an interest in posters as both art and cultural statement.

Ms. Kobryn has has held annual pysanky workshops since 1999, sponsored by the Middlesex County Cultural and Heritage Commission at East Jersey Olde Towne Village. She participates in ethnic festivals, presents and conducts pysanky workshops in various venues, and mentored the Ukrainian Easter Egg Club at Woodbridge Middle School, where she taught language arts for almost 25 years. Currently, Ms. Kobryn is studying the history and learning the skill of traditional Ukrainian Poltava Region embroidery under the tutelage of Master Artist and recognized tradition bearer Helen Dobusz. The New Jersey State Council of the Arts awarded the duo a 2016 Folk Arts Apprenticeship Grant.

  • Teju Reval
    Teju Reval
    Designer; Visual Artist
    Teju is a charcoal artist, Illustrator and Surface pattern designer.  Her style is elegant and trendy, and mostly romanticizes contrasts- Black & white with color, simple with complex, mundane with extraordinary. She grew up in India and has lived in the UK, Hong Kong and US. Though she trained as a Computer Engineer and earned her Masters in Business Administration, her heart was always set on creative pursuit. She quit her job and became a full-time artist in 2013. Teju loves working with Charcoal. She is amazed at how that medium can be both loose and rigid at the same time, the possibilities are endless. She also enjoys working with different media like pen and ink, watercolor and gouache. She takes inspiration from her travels. She lives, dreams and breathes art everyday.
