2004 Artist: Timothy Daszko - Brochure
Timothy Daszko of Santa Clara , California created our signature artwork for our 2004 Third Annual Forum. He offers this explanation: “This work draws upon surrealism and abstract thought which enables creative freedom for the incorporation of analogies. The use of vibrant colors and movement makes the artwork eye-catching and flowing, reflecting the thought patterns of innovative thinkers. The theme of this year’s Forum, "Making a Difference From Where We Are," creates a spectrum of ideas, but most significant is the impact of human thought. From the earth and its resources we draw upon our surroundings and inspirations to create. The human figure represents this idea. The lack of a detailed face represents the elimination of the "individual" when it comes to problem solving and innovative thought. The world is directly and indirectly affected by thought. Ideas directly impact actions; the hands represent the application of ideas and the actions that result from thought patterns. The indirect impacts result from the flood of thoughts that flow out of the head and puddle on the shoulders of the thinker. These puddles might be representational of shared, loose, inactive, or untouched ideas, which weigh on the arms and linger until utilized or discarded.”
2003 Artist: Tony Heald - Brochure
Forum Artist 2003: Our cover art was created by Tony Heald, an international artist working and living in the United Kingdom in Barnsley, South Yorkshire . Tony chose Circus Clowns as the cover piece to remind us “to laugh at ourselves (and our endeavors) whilst retaining our optimism”. We value Tony’s sense of hopefulness as it relates to our forum theme of “better thinking for a better future.” For more information about Tony and his art, please visit www.tonyheald.info/abouttheartist3.html.
2002 Artist: Yasuo Araki - Brochure
About the cover art: Our Inaugural Forum signature art is Eyes to the Outside created in 2000 by Yasuo Araki of Vancouver , British Columbia , Canada. We feel the themes of connection, broadening, learning, and delight in Eyes to the Outside make it fitting for our Forum.
