Illume Writers & Artists
Independent Publishing and Art Venues
We can literally create a world... where Camelot, the Roman Empire, the Wild West, Shangri-la, the Tribal Nations, Victorian England, Pharaonic Egypt, Middle Earth, the Vikings, Rustic Hawaii, the Garden of Eden, Space Cities, and Santa’s North Pole... all really exist.
​
We are not talking theme park. We mean Really Exist.

And it gives hundreds of ideas, examples, and illustrations to inspire the reader to create "Communities as Art."

NEW Illume
Books
A collaboration of art and poetry by twin siblings, Valerie Haynes, and the late Vance A. Larson. Haynes has "invented" a series of new colors, which she describes with creative brilliance in philosophical imagery. Each new color is accompanied by breathtaking paintings by Larson spanning his 28-year artistic career, each suited to the philosophy of the represented color. The result is a gorgeous and thoughtful body of work that will be sought after for its beauty, depth, and originality.
​
Among the colors is:
"Opannar--The Color of Tomorrow"
