Charles A. Ross & Associates Supports the Arts

Representation in a criminal case is more than technicality and precedent. It must be inspired and artful. We maintain a small collection of art to inspire creativity and passion for our clients. Here are three artists who move us.

Kristina Nazarevskaia

“The most important aspect of creating is your heart and how much of it is imbued within the work that you do. With luck, you learn to be honest with your feelings and emotions; the canvas will become the mirror of this growth.”

Born in Armenia in 1975, Kristina Nazarevskaia was raised in Moscow and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. She came to America in 1991.

Kristina's experiences created within her a profound desire for self-expression. After nearly a decade of seeking an outlet for this desire, her metamorphosis came through a chance foray to Tunisia. There, she drew from the colors and compositions, sounds and smells, that influence and inspire her work.

Looking at her pieces, you experience an irrepressible urge to touch their surfaces.

Ellen Wallenstein

“I am passionate about photography, and tend to work on long-term documentary projects that mesh into the framework of my daily life.”

Ellen Wallenstein is a “personal documentary” photographer and book artist. She often works on long-term projects in which she visually responds to her daily life experience. A teacher since 1978, she is currently on the faculties of Pratt Institute and the School of Visual Arts.

Ellen's photographs and books have been exhibited in national and international exhibitions. Selections from her latest work, “Opus for Anne: Photographs from the End of a Life,” were included in the 2006 Bienal de Arte Contemporáneo in Madrid.
