Goldberg who invited artists to join her in commemorating a momentous occasion in American history. With millions of people coming to Washington to celebrate a new era, Goldberg, an activist and artist, wanted to play her part so she did what she does best � assembled this eclectic collection of works that express the hopes and dreams of artists with whom she�s worked for years. Much of the art you�ll see in Inaugural Inspiration was created specifically for the show, and some pieces were chosen because they fit the theme. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com

| | | Clara Menerella: Faces Again
Il Ramo d'Oro, Naples, IT Italy Il Ramo d'Oro opens the new year with the solo exhibition of the well known artist Clara Menerella. A woman with eyes to the world, who lives immersed in the daily events, struggling, not only working, to build a better world, as Artistic Education teacher, wife, mother and fervent researcher in visual communication. Like an archeologist Menerella digs and brings to light classical figures that speak to contemporary: the appearance is the essence of contemporary, it brings to light the woman of all time: beautiful, sensual, a victim of her own femininity, of the duty to be pleasant. The opening was held on Saturday 1/17/2009 at 6 pm with introduction by Armando Profumi. It will be possible to visit the exhibition every day but on Thursday from 4 to 8 pm. On Friday 1/23/2009 Rino Vellecco will present 'Paths of tought'. Video-triptych between Neapolitan anthropology, politic and culture. Il Ramo d'Oro promotes their artists with a Gallery Portfolio at absolutearts.com. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com

Michael Corbin
Jonathan Levy is a young, New York City bred artist who I met while visiting "The Artists Fair" at Art Basel Miami Beach in December 2008. I was struck by his style, which he calls "Style of Nature." He's a very talented artist and I asked him if he would consent to an interview. Starting off, I asked him about how he was surviving as an artist in this current economy. He sent me a really great, but long email that not only addressed that question, but several others. So, with his permission, I broke up his answer into the conversation that you see below. In short, I got creative, but this remains true to his voice. I think you'll enjoy his insight and his website at www.styleofnature.com but first, here's our chat: MICHAEL: First of all Jonathan, thanks for talking with me. How did you start out as an artist? JONATHAN: Six years ago when I finished up with school (Pratt Institute), I realized I needed to figure out two very important things. First, I needed to find a painting style that I loved to do and needed to figure out what to do with it once I found it. I was on the first plane to Hawaii in search of these answers. My search led me to Maui because I had heard it was one of the art capitals and I was in search of some serious inspiration.
