About Me

My Photo
Louise B. Hafesh
Making “herstory” as the first woman Ad Manager in Harte Hanks' newspaper chain, Louise's campaigns garnered national acclaim, besting "The Washington Post" & "Boston Globe." Continuing that pioneering spirit, she went on to publish the first woman’s regional magazine, "NJ Woman," and forged a 30-year career in journalism. In 2001, following her heart and lifelong desire, Louise began to study oil painting with noted still life artist, Frank Arcuri--in-studio and at The Art Student’s League, NY, and master landscape painter, John P. Osborne at the Ridgewood Art Institute, NJ.  She has exhibited at the National Arts Gallery, as part of the Hudson Valley Art Association and Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club Exhibitions. Her work has received industry awards, i.e., Kent Art Association, Ulrich; is in numerous private collections/foundations and was featured in the June, 2008 issue of "Artist's Magazine." As a writer, Louise's syndicated features on art, personalities and travel have appeared in over 25 national and international publications. She is a Contributing Editor at The Artist's Magazine.

A Few of my Favorite Things!

"Each day comes bearing its own gifts..." Untie the Ribbons."--R.A. Schabacker

Early in the sixties, as four fellow Liverpudlians took America by storm, my family arrived in the US and settled in New Jersey. After forging a successful 30-year career in publishing and journalism, in 2001, my lifelong dream of studying painting became a reality as I began extended instruction with several of the finest contemporary artists.
Moving forward, this visual journal is a way of chronicling a personal odyssey in art. I hope that by sharing my passion for painting life's journey, it will become a gateway for us to connect... exchange ideas... inform... inspire and entertain... all with the Arts in mind.
     Toward that aim, please feel free to participate in its creation by sending along your comments, art news, or interesting items for discussion in future issues. 
Color your world,
LBH
