Born in Romania in 1948, I started to learn about art at a very early age, playing with colors and art materials in my father's Art Design and Restoration studio.

In 1963 I was accepted in the Fine Arts High School, "N. Tonitza" in Bucharest, Romania where I studied various art techniques including drawing, painting, sculpture, engraving, graphics, murals, mosaics and ceramics. After graduating from the Fine Art High School, I attended the University of Bucharest Art Institute, "N. Grigorescu", graduating in 1974 with a Master's degree in Graphic Arts and Design.

Since 1980, after relocating to California,      I worked as a Graphic Designer and  Art Director in the Silicon Valley, San Francisco Bay Area until 2003 when I retired from the corporate world and started Adrian Litman Architectural Art & Design studio.

My art services include complete color and interior design coordination for residences and businesses, custom paintings, murals, mosaics, ceramics, stained glass panels sculptures, fountains and wall treatments.

Many of my projects integrate acoustical components made of recycled materials in the art pieces and decorative designs especially for public places with high traffic, like libraries, restaurants, hospitals, large offices and public buildings.

A high priority in my artistic activities is the use of recycled, reclaimed and sustainable materials made in the USA.

 Maria Holdsworth,

Fremont, California
Born and raised in Miami Florida, Maria now calls California home.  She first became interested in photography aroung the age of ten.  She was given a hand-me-down 110 film camera, but it was enough to get her started in the love for photography.  Her first subject, she recalls was her cousin.

There was a gap of several years before she became active in photography groups or actively photographing towards portfolios, but art was always part of her life in some way; sketching, painting, poetry, an appreciation for music and so on.

While in college Maria needed an art credit and decided to take a B&W photography class.  That was it, previously convinced color photography was her passion, Maria re-discovered photography through black and white film.  "Being in the darkroom, smelling the chemicals, allowing your eyes to adjust to the light and watching your images appear on the paper is the most amazing and indescribable feeling!"

Recently Maria is working towards expanding her artistic technique with a digital camera.  "I held out as long as possible.  It's time to start using the tools of the century." We look forward to seeing more of Maria's work in the future.
