Crossing Art Reception
Art reception, the artists role. Switch to "schmoozing" mode. A good way to get your feet wet in doing this is to be in a group show. All the focus is not on you, as it would be in a solo show. I watch for someone viewing my work and move in and talk with them. At this show I opened with "the darkness of the background reminds me of space, which leaves you feeling the sensation of vastness". The man I was speaking with totally picked up on this, and started a discussion with me about the piece without even realizing I was the artist. He just saw me as a friendly fellow patron of the arts enjoying some insight. I also spent some time getting to know the other artists, in a juried show such as this one, you have no idea about who you will be sharing the walls with. Everyone has a story to tell, just start asking questions.

The Rubaiyat, Omar Khayyam, 1120 ADIn late October 1996, Yuko Nii founded the non-profit The WAH Center (Williamsburg Art & Historical Center) based upon her Bridge Concept. That concept envisions a multifaceted, multicultural art center whose mission is to coalesce the diverse artistic community, and create a bridge between local, national and international artists, emerging and established artists, and artists of all disciplines. Thus through the international language of art we come to understand each other to create a more peaceful and integrated world. The WAH Center is a force for peace and understanding and it’s concept is incorporated in its acronym: “WAH” in Japanese means “peace” or “harmony” or “unity.”

Vast (Creature)
My quest for exploration lies within the fantastical universe within our seas.
As a teenager, I had my first scuba diving adventure. My father had a friend who was an underwater photographer. For a week, we lived on a sailboat in the Virgin Islands and dove shipwrecks twice a day. I will never forget how completely taken I was by the variety and vibrancy of life living just beneath the surface.
I became a Rockaway Artist Alliance member before I moved to Brooklyn. I had a friend in Carroll Gardens who really wanted a sticker for her car to be able to park at Fort Tilden without getting a ticket. She brought me to meetings in exchange for this sticker. Fort Tilden offered a very dynamic community rich in art, theatre and gardening. It contained an aura of a place where magical happenings were inspired, and creative souls are celebrated.
Both of my parents were raised in Brooklyn. They were already familiar with the magic the sea offered to the beachcomber. My dad would capture all types of creatures from the ocean and put them in his fish tank for observation. They instilled this love of nature into their four children. That love is very evident in my artwork.

The Wave, Rockaway news
Beach 105 Station Features Callie Hirsch’s Artwork
Hirsch created fantastical aquatic creatures set against rich blue and green backgrounds of water.
She worked with the glass fabricator Erskin Mitchell, who interpreted her artwork into three groupings of faceted glass panels. Each is a striking portrayal of organic ocean forms made radiant by the strong light that reflects off the nearby ocean.
Hirsch, inspired by childhood experiences, explores the universe beneath the seas through her artwork. As a child, she was fascinated by the family fish tank filled with creatures taken from the ocean.
As a teenager, her interest was heightened when she began sailing and scuba diving. The variety and vibrancy of life beneath the surface continues to be a major interest to her.
With a love for the Rockaway landscape, Hirsch says the ocean is one of the most desirable places on earth. Through “Vast,” she hopes to “encourage viewers to acknowledge and respect the beauty of the sea as well as consider their own participation in the power and wholeness of the natural world.”
