In a world where more employees are teleworking and companies are expanding globally, how do you have a company anniversary celebration that is inclusive of everyone? One Of A Kind Art Studio offers a fantastic solution: an interactive website feature of your organization’s 3-dimensional anniversary art.
Every One Of A Kind collage is uniquely customized for each history by artist Lawrence Romorini. Romorini creates this personalized art with photos, publications, 3D items, and miniatures. They make a powerful presentation, and lasting legacy.
Arts, sports, science, dance, engineering, music, cooking, film, technology – our lives are rich with so many wonders that we have brought into our cultures. But these ideas, items, and inventions weren’t always a part of our world, and they definitely didn’t start at the level we experience them now. The beauty about humans is we have the discoverers and the pioneers; and then we have “masters” who take an idea and develop it to its greatest potential.
The concept of a shadow box is no different. The term shadow box, with the first known use in 1891, refers to a display case with an enclosed glass front that contains objects presented in a thematic grouping. The positioning and different depths of the objects create a dramatic visual effect. It offers a great way to preserve while still enjoy viewing memorabilia.
Your CEO is dynamic, beloved, and perhaps they are the founder. Under their vision and leadership, the company has grown and succeeded despite challenges. And after years of service to the company or organization, their retirement is approaching.

This custom-made art tells the great story of Innovative Technology Leasing with 50 years of strong family leadership. It celebrates Data Sales’ history and serves as a lasting legacy to honor their founder. (more…)
