Jersey Artist Registry: Exhibition #1 Closing

The Closing Reception of Jersey Artist Registry: Exhibition #1 will be held Friday, February 20, 2015 from 5:00 – midnight at the Hotel Tides. Everyone is welcome to this free event, where there will be a cash bar. Free parking is available on the streets.

The Hotel Tides is located at 408 Seventh Avenue in Asbury Park, NJ, 732-897-7744, and opens at 5:00 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.

Thirty-nine works from 16 artists are included in this eclectic show including painting, black and white photography, color photography, mixed media work and sculpture. In styles and genres, it ranges from Outsider to Insider, Traditional to Abstract, and Emerging to Established.

Work from painters Dawn DiCicco, Erica Geralds, Michael Hanna, Patricia Hutchinson, Brian Jones, Zeet Peabody, John Roff, Karen Starrett and Ellen Martin; photographers Marilyn Baldi, Marlo Montanaro, Joan Myers, Kevin Hinkle and Colin Seitz; and sculptors Andrew Pawlan and Amy Puccio are on display. Many are award-winning artists.

The Jersey Artist Registry is an invitational online art gallery created by Ellen Martin to show off the talent of New Jersey visual artists. Says Martin, “I wanted to create a strong visual site where you could see all the work immediately upon opening the page. This show has been very rewarding in that we sold two pieces at the opening, and one of my own pieces sold during the run of the show. This show is also a good learning experience for viewers because of the many styles and media represented.”

Works included in the exhibition are Hydra Crane, a mixed media piece by Michael Hanna; Sugar and Spice, a corset wood wall sculpture by Amy Puccio; Koresh 2, a large figurative painting by Pat Hutchinson; and Pooley, a beaded found object by Andrew Pawlan.
