Mark April 2nd, 2017 on your calendar!  That is the date of the opening reception for "VISIONS: the Art of the Ocean County Artists Community (TRAC)" at the Ocean County Artists Guild in Island Heights. The show will feature the diverse works of the members of the community, of which I am a member.  It will include sculpture, paintings, drawings, digital art, watercolors, glass works, miniatures, and photography, of course!!

             The show runs from April 1st to April 30th.  The reception will be between 1 and 4 pm and will feature many TRAC members, members of the Guild, art lovers, and a nice spread of tasty snacks.  Those will be secondary to the art, however!  Please try to make it either to the reception or the show.  

             In addition to my participation in "VISIONS", my work continues to be featured elsewhere.  Three of my images are part of the prestigious Guild for Creative Art's "EYESIGHTS" show in Shrewsbury.  The quality of the work there is unbelievable and worth a trip from any place in the state!  I also have work featured at the Belmar Arts Center, specifically, the 13x19 Show, for which I received an award for "Sailor Dance."  It continues until this Saturday, March 18th. It will be followed by JAS 13, the BAC's most important annual show of art in a variety of mediums.  The reception for JAS 13 is April 1st from 5 to 7 pm.  This will be an outstanding show.  I proud to have one of my black and white images selected to participate in this fabulous exhibit.  Finally, as in the past few months, I will have an image at the nifty new TRAC gallery in Downtown Toms River.  Please stop by if you find yourself in the area.

            Needless to say, as the weather warms up, the opportunities to see wonderful art keeps getting better and better!!
