The magic that NormanSchillawski captures in his pho-tographs is truly memorable.

Schillawski is a photographer from Cic-ero, N.Y. and a new addition to theartists represented at the MuseumShop. His goal is to create fine artphotographs. He feels a fine art photo-graph is an extension of himself; itmust be both technically correct andreflect his artistic inspiration. He says,"There is just something magical thatyou can take a box, point it at some-thing and capture something beautifulfor the world to see or something per-sonal to cherish forever”.

About a year ago, Debbie Dufresnebegan repurposing vintage ephemera such aspostcards, matchbooks, wrapping paper, ad-vertisements, stamps, greeting cards, etc. intopendants, keychains and bracelets. Prior tocreating and selling her creations, she spent30 years in journalism.

In conjunction with The Italian Presepe exhibi-tion, the Museum Shop will feature a variety ofholiday cards, ornaments and advent calen-dars with the Nativity theme as well as the ex-hibition catalog.
