As many of you know, our community was struck by tragedy last September when we learned that a beloved alumna, Sarah Katz '15, passed away due to sudden cardiac arrest at age 21. Sarah was diagnosed with Long QT syndrome at age five, but it did not limit her in any way. Her passing underscores the dangers of sudden cardiac arrest and the need for lifesaving awareness, education and resources.

Throughout her life, Sarah was deeply involved in efforts to spread awareness about heart safety and provide CPR instruction and other training with the hope that doing so would ultimately save lives. It is in her honor that we are pleased to announce the Sarah Katz Heart Care Fund with the sole objective of lengthening what the heart health awareness community calls the "chain of survival." The fund will support a range of safety, education and awareness training programs for Stevens faculty, students and families, as well as future purchases of lifesaving devices to replace our current equipment.

Sarah was a brilliant and dedicated young person who embodied the values we seek to instill in all Stevens graduates: compassion, leadership and a commitment to helping those in her community. Though her passing has caused profound sadness and grief, we are hopeful that establishing this fund will allow us to carry on her legacy by making Stevens a safer, healthier community for all.

The print works included in this set are from parent, Matt Barteluce's High Strangeness series. This body of work consists of a series of prints, paintings and ceramics that are playful explorations of all things paranormal and unexplainable. Barteluce finds inspiration in far-fetched theories and illustrates them through a variety of mediums including 2-color silkscreens, woodblock prints and etchings. From UFOs and Bigfoot to theories such as hollow earth, this body of work invites viewers to let go a little and embrace the weirder, more mysterious side of the world we live in. He has taken much of his inspiration from the artist Albertus Seba and his book the Cabinet of Natural Curiosities. Like Seba, Barteluce is documenting these modern day mysteries and like all things preternatural, he's hidden clues and deeper mysteries within each print.

Matt Barteluce is a New Jersey native and amateur ufologist. He is an artist, educator, illustrator and graphic designer who received his BFA in 2003 from Maryland Institute College of Art and his MFA in 2010 at the School of Visual Arts. Until 2014 he worked as an art director for Young & Rubicam Group, a worldwide advertising agency. During that time he co-founded 'Carrier Pigeon', a quarterly fine art and literature magazine with a group of peers. He is currently director of Guttenberg Arts, a 501c3 non profit arts organization. As Guttenberg Arts director he acts as an advocate for artists helping them achieve their fullest potential.

Collection Includes:

Reptilian I & II, etchings
UFOs I, II, III, linocuts
Dinosaurs, linocut
Ufology, screenprint
Hollow Earth, screenprint
