Here is a story in Anne Lourie’s own words:
“....of a portrait I did in Wildwood, NJ. In the 1940s, I was working as a portrait artist on the beach and the boardwalk was above me.
Ella Fitzgerald came, still in costume, from her performance, with her 2 huge Bodyguards standing on either side of her. She stood above me, watched me work, and then asked me to do a portrait.
She was wearing a huge long, pink-feathered boa around her neck, which trailed on the ground. I drew her and then refused to accept any money for the drawing.”
Anne moved to Berkeley 26 years ago and has been an artist for over 70 years, painting portraits, landscapes and abstracts.
She now has an art studio space at the Firehouse Gilman Street location and still paints every day.

*LEO ZUBRITSKY
born in Detroit Michigan, his family steered him onto the
path of colorful cultural landscapes. He was drawn into the art world at an
early age with influences such as Vincent van Gogh, Diego
Rivera, Salvatore Dali, and Pablo Picasso. In 1964 he traveled
to the New York World’s Fair and was touched by Michelangelo’s Pieta.
At Eastern Michigan University Leo earned a BFA and became
interested in multimedia artwork.
Leo
Zubritsky works as a consultant to Bechtel Corporation as an Art
Director on projects like development of photo database
for USAID, top level presentations, trade show displays and many successful
proposal efforts. Projects include: corporate board game metrics, caricatures
for gifts, multimedia projects using animation and video. Leo works primarily
with Marketing Communications and Corporate Communications groups.
As a promotion he was able to create a video of the theme
park ride called, Titanic – the Experience in Sydney, Australia. His
role was to art direct; create the storyboard, title introduction, and ending
title animation. Another of his key contributions was developing a second version
of the iceberg sequence, in which the Titanic smashed right thru the iceberg,
and continued into the sunset. The legacy of that ship goes on forever by way
of this theme park ride.
During the 2001 winter semester he taught a
multimedia Portfolio Development class at Berkeley College, CA.
Leo lives in Berkeley with his family and is a principal artist in the
Firehouse Art CoLab.
His artwork has been exhibited in:
