18" x 7" x 18" - bronze sculpture Antar was a great stallion. He was wild, in a band of horses running through the mountains of Lebanon. Omar would see him from time to time near the boundaries of his father's ranch. He was fascinated by this unusually handsome horse. Gazing at the horse from afar Omar hoped in some way he could catch him, tame him and keep him. He knew this was wishful thinking, but he never forgot his "dream horse". I was contacted by Omar to do a bronze sculpture of Antar to memorialize him for all eternity. We spoke at great length about this horse, until I felt confidant enough to begin the portrait sculpture. Even though the horse was never captured, Omar wanted him done with an Arabic saddle and fittings. It took me over a year to finalize the piece, and much to my great joy, my client was delighted. It now holds a position of honor in his new American home, and gives him an opportunity to tell the story of this beautiful horse and his ranch to all his visitors.

"MY ART IS NOW MY VOICE"Ione's art has shown nationally since 1998 when, after years of world travel, a successful television, radio, theatre and film career in the performing arts, she decided to focus her richly diverse talents on the visual arts.Ione's artistic expression, creativity, and passion for communication have resulted in numerous awards for her painting, sculpture, mixed media, and assemblage. Her work has also been featured in several important publications. Ione maintains an extensive exhibition schedule in juried, non-juried, and invitational arts venues.My art reaches out from my heart, guts, body and soul to all!Ever since I can remember I've always had a desire to communicate with every person in the world.At first I thought I could accomplish this through travel. And so I did. I toured through India, Africa, Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe, South and Central America, plus the more usual places in the U.S., Mexico, Caribbean and the like. I even scoured more remote areas of the world like Easter Island, the Galapagos Islands, Myanmar, Nepal, Srinigar. There is almost nothing or no one which has escaped my eye.Throughout these countries I managed to speak with everyone I could. I've taped, recorded and photographed my conversations from inside the huts of African villages to the alleys of remote towns in China. I've shared beetle-nuts with women squatting in circles in temple areas in Algeria. Been in places where no one had ever heard of the Jewish religion. I could go on with my endless adventures...endlessly. But they did not satisfy my thirst for communication.Then there was my performing career. I appeared on television every morning in the Chicago area for WLS-TV. My show was called "The Prize Movie With Ione." Here I chatted and connected with fellow Chicagoans five mornings a week from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. for over seven years. The show was the highest rated television show in that time slot.For over thirty years I performed on a variety of television and radio commercials. With an ear for mimicry, and an ability to sight-read I was a "natural" for voice-overs. I sang, and did multiple voices on all sorts of recordings in the Chicago and Midwest area. The average listener was unaware of whom I was, because doing commercials as a "voice" is anonymous, particularly when I did a huge range of voices similar to Mel Blanc.
