There are over 100 different kinds of peripheral nerve disorders or neuropathies – some are the result of a disease like diabetes, while others can be triggered by a viral infection. Still others are the result of an injury or compression on the nerves. No matter where the problems begin, it is imperative nerve disorders are resolved as soon as possible to prevent permanent damage. Many people suffer with pain for years, not realizing that their symptoms may be due to Peripheral Neuropathy. Symptoms start gradually, then get worse, including numbness, burning or tingling sensations and sharp, electrical-like pain. Treatment options have been limited to a small assortment of pain medications, which can lead to further issues. Ignoring the problem or masking the symptoms has never been a viable solution.

Ewing artist Laura Beard and Princeton’s Abigail Johnson are showing their work in the Friends for the Abbott Marshlands’ first exhibition of 2024 at the Tulpehaking Nature Center in Hamilton, “Nature’s Duet,” on view through February 28, with an opening reception on Sunday, February 4, from 2 to 4 p.m.

homeland of the Lenape.”

An opening reception will take place on Sunday, February 4, from 2 to 4 p.m.

According to the Abbott Marshlands website, the exhibit focuses on “the color harmony of both abstract and realism, applied to the inspiration of the natural world. Johnson’s collection, from her ‘Planetary’ series, is a meditation on the natural world and its many complex ecologies.

Beard’s collection is an invitation to consider the animals, both large and small, that share our planet.”

Beard’s piece “Serenity” (2023) is acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas, while “Fragile Balance 1” (2019) depicts a male Halloween pennant dragonfly with watercolors and gouache on watercolor paper. Johnson’s “Rain” and “Forest” (2023) are both mixed media on canvas.

Each of Johnson’s mixed-media abstract pieces is paired with an original poem about the natural world that inspired it, a true testament to her multi-medium approach that, according to her website, artbyaella.com, is “driven by [her] deep desire to understand humanity’s ever-evolving place in nature and how it shapes our experiences.”

Her work has been previously shown at the Trenton City Museum at Ellarslie Mansion, the West Windsor Arts Council, the Arts Council of Princeton, Artworks Trenton, and more.

Beard is a portrait artist specializing in photorealistic paintings of animals and nature. Beard, who has exhibited before at both the Arts Council of Princeton and Artworks Trenton, is also a member of the New Jersey Watercolor Society and the Garden State Watercolor Society. For more, see her website at laurabeardart. com.

Last year, both exhibiting artists—Johnson for digital art and Beard for watercolor—won awards in the Ellarslie Open 40.

All pieces on display are available for purchase at the closure of the exhibit, with a portion of the profits benefiting the Tulpehaking Nature Center and the FFAM. Tulpehaking Nature Center, 157 Westcott Avenue, Hamilton. On view through February 28. Open Wednesdays through Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Free.

“Reciting Women: Alia Bensliman & Khalilah Sabree,” Art@Bainbridge Art@Bainbridge, 158 Nassau Street, Princeton “Reciting Women,” an exhibit featuring Alia Bensliman and Khalilah Sabree, opened at Princeton University’s Art@ Bainbridge gallery in late January and remains on view through March 31.

A reception is set for Saturday, February 3 at 2 p.m., followed by a conversation with the artists on Thursday, February 15 at 5:30 p.m. in the Friend Center on Princeton campus.

As stated in the online museum materials, the two artists “deliberately disrupt conventional divides between tradition and modernity and the sacred and the secular.

As Muslim-American artists and educators deeply rooted in the Trenton community, their imagery grapples with human rights struggles and the challenges of cultural belonging.”

“Bensliman’s images of Amazigh women focus on the Indigenous population of North Africa in richly patterned watercol-

ors informed by local artistic motifs, with her own triple portrait as an introspective counterpoint. Sabree’s painting suite turns a photograph taken during Hajj, the annual Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca, into a medi-

tation on loss and the devastations of war.

Seen together, the artists’ works testify to seemingly incompatible commitments: preserving cultural traditions that are under threat while forging visual vocabularies

that resonate with their own unfolding identities.”

Bensliman’s “Me, Myself, and I: Unfinished Conversation” (2023) is a combination of watercolor, ink markers, charcoal, and colored pencil on archival paper.

Sabree’s “Broken Promise” (2016–2017) is a graphite, oil paint stick, acrylic, acrylic printing ink, paper, oil paint, and photography piece on masonite from her ‘Destruction of a Culture’ series.

From FEBRUARY, Page 6 According to Bensliman’s website, aliabenslimanart.com, the Robbinsville-based artist grew up in Tunisia, North Africa, which she called a place “at a crossroad of eastern and ancient art and cultures on one hand and western more contemporary art on the other. As a result, her work merges “east and west with a penchant for North African and Berber art.”

On Sabree’s website, khalilahsabree.com, she describes her work as “about spiritual transformation and world issues,” yet “with a contemporary Islamic flavor,” drawing from her experiences as a Black Muslim woman.

Both are arts educators, too, with Bensliman currently teaching at Artworks Trenton and the Trenton City Museum at Ellarslie, while Sabree is a former Lawrence Township teacher who also has a private studio at Artworks Trenton.

“Freda Williams: A Retrospective,” Artworks Trenton Artworks Trenton, 19 Everett Alley, Trenton Mabel “Freda” Williams, a self-taught visual artist and longtime resident of Ewing Township for more than 70 years, is the subject of Artworks Trenton’s exhibition “Freda Williams: A Retrospective” in its main and community galleries through Saturday, March 16.

-There will also be an opening reception on Friday, February 2, from 6 to 8 p.m.

A graduate of what is now Rider University, Williams’ lifelong passion for painting grew into a professional career after she retired from two decades as a steel industry manager and 27 years as an affirmative action manager for the New Jersey Department of Education.

“Most people enjoy seeing things that are familiar to them and give them

a sense of community and fond memories of a time gone by,” Williams said in a quote from the exhibit page on the Artworks website, artworkstrenton.org/events/ freda-williams-a-retrospective.

Her work, the materials continue, “depicts scenes of historical events, African American roots, beautiful landscapes, and vivid, abstract images that reflect both past and current periods and settings.”

Other themes and motifs, according to the Artworks page, include “florals, political, African American history, Trenton historical sites, southern themes, landscapes, and cityscapes,” including her “To the Left” series.

The majority of William’s collection is acrylic, but her favorite medium is oil, and she has experimented with both watercolor and mixed media.

Williams’ winning painting in the 2021 Mercer County Senior Art Show, “Original People,” was awarded third place in the state competition, the New Jersey Senior Citizen Art Show.

She formerly served on the Ewing Township Arts Commission, an appointed municipal body and nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the local creative community.

Williams has also exhibited at the Lawrenceville and Ewing Public Libraries, West Windsor Arts, Hopewell Valley Vineyards, the Trenton City Museum at Ellarslie, and more.

For more on Williams, see her website at fredasartgallery.com.
