       What a wonderfully appealing book. As you embark on an adventure through the works of art, you will admire the author’s unique approach to his use of color and image. Intertwined with these striking works of art, you’ll be entertained with the author’s original short stories. Another interesting aspect of this book is how the author offers a clear and precise knowledge of what was involved in this remarkable creation. I feel this would be enjoyed by diverse group of people of all ages. I wish to thank Mr. Stresino for the opportunity to enjoy his story of circlism.

My name is Edward C. Stresino. The breakthrough occurred in high school. In my sophomore year I became fascinated with spontaneous cell separations as a means of constructing and deconstructing visual images. Eleven years later in 1996 I found myself visualizing landscapes in the same terms. As my self-confidence grew I discovered a technique of my own. I refer to this technique as Circlism and it means to paint by diagramming an image in terms of tiny circles or figures. Words can only begin to project the idea which becomes meaningful when the viewer is in front of a full size painting. As I proceed I feel that each painting is a further step ahead. Each painting is becoming more complex and intricate. I see my paintings as a means to achieve more complete awareness and to penetrate more deeply into contemporary perception. Edward C. Stresino has exhibited his artwork at the Burbank Police and Fire Museum. Hangar 1018 benefiting Katrina survivors, The Pinewood Derby at Hangar 1018 in Los Angeles, and in Sacramento at the California state teacher's federal  building .
