See the Unlikely Companions I Chose for an Exhibit & Benefit for Arts Unbound

Dear ,

I think this is a sweet grouping of my work for the "Friends of Arts Unbound Exhibit and Benefit" opening Saturday night in the Valley Arts District of Orange, NJ. A bit eclectic, but cohesive in color; all of the subjects are local - a treat baked by Pink Cupcakes, a street in my neighborhood of West Orange, and an egg cooker in my studio. The show benefits programming by Arts Unbound to help the "artistic development of people living with disabilities and to the continuing artistic enrichment of seniors."

Now more than ever, it's important to support organizations such as this one, who reaches 200-300 people annually, in several counties around NJ, and receives some of their operating funding from the NEA. I'm proud to be one of 30 local artists invited by curator, Robert Ramos, to show and hopefully sell my work for this reaching cause. 

If you'd like to stop by, the exhibit is at the Dora Stern Gallery, at Arts Unbound, located at 544 Freeman Street, Orange, NJ. 

Creatively and with ❤️,
 
 
 
PS - I also have two works at a new gallery in the Valley Arts District of Orange, NJ. The Rectangle Studio & Gallery opened two weeks ago to a huge crowd, and my works had the honor of hanging amongst many talented artists. Hours are by appointment only, but you can explore more here or here. And, I just updated my website with all of my current exhibits so you know where to see my work in person, or you can always see it virtually through the links below.
