Marilyn Levine's ceramic work is a terrific example of the photorealist style in

AND IN CONCLUSION...

This site was updated on September 18, 2003. The big news is the SAE 100th
Anniversary painting commission I was awarded in August. This piece will be
a collage type composition showing a chronology of mobility products. Images
include a crank-start car, a Wright Brothers aircraft and a hydrogen fuel cell concept
vehicle. The work is scheduled for completion in January 2004. And speaking of
anniversaries, the Vettes & V-Twins car and bike show on October 18, 2003 will be
a rockin' celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Corvette and 100th anniversary
of Harley-Davidson. I'll be showing my '69 Stingray in the car show and paintings at
the dinner and auction. Location is Sam Houston Race Park in northwest Houston.
Stay tuned for further. Thanks for stopping by and if you like what you see, by all
means drop me a line.
