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.

Lauren Curtis

Visual Artist

Lauren Curtis graduated with her BFA from Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University, in 1988. She’s been creating ever since and now, as a full time artist, enjoys working in a variety of media, including oils, collage, pen & ink, watercolor and photography. Curtis is happiest when creating pieces that represent her love of nature, wildlife, travel and spiritual subject matter. The symbolism and mythology of ancient cultures are fused with the symbols from modern day , natural spiritual practices, to form a unique and eclectic style. These images are often portrayed through the woman’s perspective, showing the importance of “The Feminine”, which is sometimes over-looked. Travel is another major influence in Lauren’s work, usually photographs, created from these journeys helps the artist to convey the beauty found in diversity, as well as in the similarities, that run through various cultural belief-systems. Lauren has had artwork and poetry published by greeting card and crafter companies, magazines, children’s books and historical organizations, including the Middlesex County Cultural & Heritage Commission. One of her pieces was selected for the permanent collection of the Joyce Kilmer Library in central NJ.

Barbara Eggermann

Visual Artist; Photographer

The 1st step in my design career was to earn a degree in Apparel Design from the Fashion Institute of Technology. After 10 years as a fashion designer, I returned to school to earn a degree in Graphic Design which led to employment as a graphic designer. Much of my work involved producing technical drawings and recognizing the power of the computer to do this, I turned to AutoCAD software in its earliest days. In 1984 I became both an authorized Autodesk reseller and Training Center with a focus on design visualization. My company, Configured Systems won the “Autodesk Superior Customer Service Award” based the high level of service and support that we provided to our clients in the New York/New Jersey/Pennsylvania areas. Tempting offers to buy my business led to its sale in 1999 allowing me to return to my true loves, graphic design and photography. My work has been used in advertising, books, magazines, corporate brochures and recognized with numerous awards. It has given me the satisfaction of doing the work that I most love to do.
