Join fellow Del Ray Artisans members ONLINE for the Member Meeting & Benefit Program on Thursday, May 20 starting at 7pm.
We’ll begin with a short meeting, then Nina Tisara and Steven Halperson will tell us about their work creating portraits for Living Legends of Alexandria.
Nina Tisara founded Living Legends of Alexandria, a nonprofit dedicated to honoring and chronicling individuals who have made significant contributions to the quality of life in Alexandria, Virginia. Beginning her career as a part-time photojournalist, Nina has photographed Alexandria people and places since 1980 and started the Living Legends program in 2006. After 30+ years as a professional photographer, Nina Tisara’s primary artistic focus is now mosaics and, in her not-so-spare time, Nina writes a monthly column for the Zebra newspaper.
Steven Halperson manages and is the primary photographer for Tisara Photography in Old Town Alexandria, a family owned and operated business incorporated in 1985. His portraits of Alexandria’s current Living Legends are on permanent display in the Market Square Lobby of Alexandria City Hall. Steven continues to develop the creative aspects of his work and experiments with various forms of expression, copper etching and circuit boards, as well as photography.
PLUS register for the meeting before 5pm on May 18 and attend to also be entered into a drawing for some Del Ray Artisans’ swag! Winners must pick up prizes by June 26.
