Incite Creative helps PaintPrints Make its Mark

The Hadassah Medical Center pioneers stem cell research to improve and potentially cure the lives of people suffering from debilitating diseases and conditions.

Baltimore, MD, February 01, 2012 – Incite Creative is proud to announce its involvement with local artist, Stephanie Levine, in helping to shape her brand and create exposure for her collection of original works titled, PaintPrints by Staphanie in conjunction with her recent honoring at the Hadassah Medical Center’s 6th annual CELL-A-BRATE event on January 28th in Baltimore, MD.

The Hadassah Medical Center pioneers stem cell research to improve and potentially cure the lives of people suffering from debilitating diseases and conditions. Hadassah chose to honor Stephanie because of her achievements as an artist and as an inspirational person with a disability. Although Ms. Levine has been wheelchair bound due to Cerebral Palsy her entire life, she has been living an active life as a volunteer and more recently as an artist.

The “PaintPrints” brand combines Stephanie’s passion for painting and acknowledges the tools of her trade — the palm of her hand and her own fingerprint. The logo Incite created leverages her thumbprint as a repeating pattern to create a flower-like shape – an element of nature that is oftentimes included in her paintings.

“My team and I were honored to play a role in creating a unique brand for such a unique woman,” says Incite Creative President, Dina Wasmer. “Stephanie has the potential to inspire so many people with her story and her paintings but needed some help to reach those who might otherwise not get the opportunity. We were happy to donate our time and services to promote PaintPrints and above all else, know that we were able to put a proud smile on Stephanie’s face.”

Incite Creative provided name development, logo design, business card design, and custom Facebook fan page design for the organization, in addition to art direction of on-site photography at the artist’s home, copywriting and public relations and social media services.

Hadassah Medical Center to Honor Local Artist Stephanie Levine at CELL-A-BRATE

Local artist Stephanie Levine and her mother, Maddie, will be honored at the Hadassah Medical Center’s 6th annual CELL-A-BRATE event on Saturday, January 28, 2012 in Baltimore, MD.

Baltimore, MD, January 18, 2011 – Local artist Stephanie Levine and her mother, Maddie, will be honored at the Hadassah Medical Center’s 6th annual CELL-A-BRATE event on Saturday, January 28, 2012 in Baltimore, MD. The Hadassah Medical Center pioneers stem cell research to improve and potentially cure the lives of people suffering from debilitating diseases and conditions. The Hadassah Medical Center created the CELL-A-BRATE event to help raise awareness and funds for the significant costs associated with stem cell research.

Stephanie Levine is a Baltimore, MD based artist, producing mixed media works that incorporates crayons and pastels into her paintings. Hadassah chose Ms. Levine because of her significant achievements as a person with a disability. Although Stephanie was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and has been wheelchair bound her entire life, she has lived an active life, first working for Marriott, then as a volunteer at Port Discovery, and most recently as an artist.

Although Stephanie has always loved art, she originally doubted her ability. It wasn’t until her life coach, Ilyse Delanoy, had her work with an art therapist that Ms. Levine began creating work consistently. Since then, she lives by her motto, “You can’t stop me now!” She has created 15 new mixed media paintings since May 2011. Some of Stephanie’s work is reminiscent of the style of one of her favorite artists, Vincent van Gogh. Her creations reflect her creative, warm, and adventurous personality. Stephanie has her work reproduced onto notecards.

Stephanie donates all the proceeds from the sales of her cards to the Kennedy Krieger Institute, a Baltimore, MD based organization that is dedicated to improving the lives of children and adolescents with developmental disabilities and brain disorders. When asked why she donates all of her proceeds to Kennedy Krieger, Stephanie responded, “I started going there when I was very young because I was born with Cerebral Palsy and have been seen there for a very long time. Dr. Sadowsky is my doctor there and she really cares about me and I want to give back to them as a thank you.”

In addition to painting, Stephanie is passionate about helping others and loves music. Her goals are to live an independent life, to be on TV, and to inspire other people with disabilities to express their personalities and expand their capabilities through art.
