Maureen Klusza Art Exhibition presented by Deaf Women Against Violence

Castro Valley, CA - November 22, 2002
Maureen Klusza, an upcoming artist, will be making her debut on December 6, 2002 at Aran's Color and Glaze Studio. For years, Maureen's art work has provided the most fascinating art that showcase American Sign Language, Animal-like personalities among other themes which makes it very unique.

"Drawing is my life" Maureen said. "I love applying the colors and draw inspiration from the surroundings, youth and what goes on around me."

She currently serves on the Deaf Women Against Violence Board of Directors. She also teaches art at California School for the Deaf at Fremont. "Making my debut with DWAV is a perfect way to showcase my artwork" Maureen remarked. "I've been a long supporter of assisting abused deaf women and children."

Rochester Institute of Technology Illustration Professor and Sports Illustrated magazine illustrator Bob Dorsey said Maureens work was extremely impressive.

Visually she is one of the outstanding artists, who I expect will make it in the illustration scene such as working for Disney" he said.

Maureen will be displaying a number of works including drawings of Animal-like personalities, American Sign Language and expressive prints showcasing deaf culture at this exhibition.

Food and drinks will be provided by Jeanne Loustalot, a teacher of FEAST program at California School for the Deaf at Fremont. The proceeds will go to the Deaf Women Against Violence organization.
