Cambridge Who’s Who has a special request to all that read this press release; go to Ivan’s website where he sells his art to support his overwhelming life & disability expenses.

Expanded Biography Ivan P. Dobranic
Ivan Dobranic was born in Nice, France in 1960. He moved to Chicago with his parents. At the age of 6, he was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, and has spent most of his life in a wheelchair. He continued to develop his artistic talents and majored in art with three years at St. Xavier College. His first two one man exhibitions were at St. Xavier College and the Beverly Art center in 1987. His work was then shown on the muscular dystrophy telethon in 1988, 1989 and 1990.
In 1990 the family moved to Sarasota, Florida to better accommodate the progressive nature of his disease. He now requires a ventilator to breathe, and has only limited movement in two fingers of his left hand. Despite all this he continues to overcome every setback with his unfailing optimism and the caring support of his family.
His determination and creative spirit shine through his painstakingly crafted oil paintings and drawings. Dobranic as filled his life with paintings; he favors realistic landscape genre, and succeeds in imbuing them with a peaceful serenity. Each painting is characterized by rich color harmonies, sometimes somber and brooding, sometimes bright and cheerful. His work speaks of a focus of energy, a spirit that will not accept limits.
In Florida, Dobranic has exhibited in several one man and group art shows:
Dobranic was chosen in 1999 to represent Florida at the Art and Soul Festival in Los Angeles CA.
“Dobranic over comes disability to paint with a passion… His landscapes are expert, even haunting… His control in picture making is remarkable.” Joan Altabe, art critic, Sarasota Herald Tribune.
“It was such a pleasure showing your beautiful work at my gallery.” Gale Fulton Ross, artist and gallery owner.
“Dobranic conveys a sunny optimism in his work.” Roberta Nelson, Herald features writer.
“Dobranic’s paintings are remarkably beautiful in their own right, and incredible when seen in the context of his special strength.” Brent Wall, Art Instructor at St. Xavier College.

Cambridge Who’s Who Member George A. Furness, Jr.
February 6th, 2007Cambridge Who’s Who Member George A. Furness, Jr. Named Executive of the Year
George A. Furness, Jr. President of the Conservation Treaty Support Fund, has been named Cambridge Who’s Who Executive of the Year in International Wildlife Living Resources Conservation.
New York, NY (PRWeb) February 6, 2007 — George A. Furness, Jr. President of the Conservation Treaty Support Fund, has been named Cambridge Who’s Who Executive of the Year in International Wildlife Living Resources Conservation. While inclusion in Cambridge Who’s Who is an honor, only one member in each discipline is named the Cambridge Who’s Who Executive of the Year. The Cambridge Who’s Who selection committee hand picks these special Who’s Who honorees based on accomplishments, academic achievement, leadership, and service.
The list of George A. Furness, Jr.’s accomplishments includes former US Foreign Service Officer, Deputy Director, Office of Ecology and Conservation and International Wildlife and Conservation Officer. He was also in charge of the US International Visitor Program and Office of International Conferences. Mr. Furness served in Vietnam, France, Ireland and Japan. He also served as Secretary of the Board of the Audubon Naturalist Society.
CTSF is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to helping international wild living resources conservation agreements. Over 150 nations, representing most of the peoples of the world, have adhered to these treaties, pledging their best efforts to ensure the maintenance of our natural heritage, for its own sake and for the benefit of people.
The unique mission of the Conservation Treaty Support Fund (CTSF) is to support major inter-governmental treaties which conserve wild natural resources for their own sake and the benefit of people. The Fund believes these undertakings have the best potential for global conservation because they stem from the will of the nations of the world and are premised on the goal of sustaining living natural resources.
The vital importance of conserving the environment and rapidly disappearing wild natural resources is now universally recognized as essential for sustaining the livelihood and quality of life of mankind. For example, “a large percentage of the world’s medicines are derived directly or indirectly from wild plants and animals. Each species lost can mean a dramatic cure unrealized. Each cure found can mean a new crop or a new industry for a developing country.”
The future of the human populations of developing countries depends largely on their capacity to husband natural resources, either for internal consumption or external trade. We must ensure that native peoples have positive motivation to preserve endangered species and their habitats. This can only be secured through international cooperation.
