Wolfson is known for transforming ordinary white baseballs into remarkable
original works of art with her Unforgettaballs!(R), which represent a gift
that celebrates the historic spirit at the heart of "America's pastime" while
showcasing the cutting-edge technology of today. Both fun and inspiring, each
design began as spectacularly detailed miniature paintings by Wolfson, which
can be played, displayed, personalized and customized, making a treasured
collectible and truly special gift for men, women and children of all ages.
The "2008 Holiday Ball" depicts an evening scene of Santa on his sleigh flying
over the rooftops on Christmas Eve, complete with reindeer and a smiling moon.
The other panel of the baseball has a chimney with smoke that spells out 'twas
the night before Christmas.'"
"I love the look of this moon on my 2008 Holiday Ball," says Wolfson. "As
with all of my other designs, this too started as a small, original painting
which was intended for the spherical format. It allows me to create the art
that most interests me, or as I like to say, 'beauty on an unexpected
canvas.'"
With Yankee Stadium and Shea Stadium closing, Wolfson's painted baseballs
of these historical landmarks are her best-sellers and have now become
collector's items. They make a perfect gift for fans this holiday season along
with her designs of Wrigley Field and Citizens Bank Park.
Dramatically different from anything in the marketplace,
Unforgettaballs!(R) represent the finest collection of artwork printed on
genuine baseballs in the world. More than three-quarters of a million have
been sold since Wolfson hand-painted her first white leather, red-stitched
baseball with an intricate flag design as a gift for her husband in 1994. This
launched Unforgettaballs!(R) and a whole new career for Wolfson, a former
architect. Since then, the North Jersey native and working mother of two has
created more than 70 paintings for design on a baseball, commemorating
everything from stadiums to cities, holidays to hobbies, life-cycle events and
more, along the way developing a proprietary printing process in order to
faithfully replicate the exceptional detailing coloration of each original
work of art.
Available through catalogues and fine retail stores as well as online, the
full collection of Unforgettaballs!(R) can be viewed and ordered through the
Company's website: www.unforgettaballs.com. For more information or to request
