inspired by capturing the intrinsic needs of clients and translating
them into visual solutions that work. Alissa Christine's relentless
search for new approaches to design and photography has also brought

spirit is alive within this artist, allowing her the freedom to experience
everything in a state of realistic fantasy. She is a passionate enthusiast,
supporter and creator of art. Alissa Christine's maverick imagination
draws in any observer to a memorable journey of the ‘tastier’
dimensions of life.

Groove Is in the Art
by Christina Kent
Each person perceives color in different ways,
a complex reactive formula based on retinal reflex, memory, and the
hard-wiring of the brain. ... Alissa Christine attempts to tap into
the phenomena of light and color for her latest photographic art exhibition,
cleverly titled "de:lite." "I like to alter the way
the light is registered through the photograph, something your eyes
can't do," says the artist of her seamless fusion of photography
and graphic design. By enhancing or warping certain parts of a photograph
of, for instance, a few people on a street corner in front of a hotel,
Christine transforms an image of reality into what she sees as a more
"delicious" form of life. These trippy, psychedelic pieces
are reminiscent of amped-up Rorschach tests or Georgia O'Keeffe orchids
on Red Bull. Tonight's opening party is from 7:00 to 11:00 at Art
Café (427 Jefferson Ave., South Beach). The exhibit runs through
November 13. Call 305-531-0770, or visit www.alissachristine.com.
