NORTH LONG BRANCH The North End remains the kind of place where you can swap fish stories or catch the latest rumors of surf while enjoying all the benefits of modern shopping plazas, some truly fine restaurants — even a popular skate park.
DOWNTOWN The heartbeat of city life for generations, Downtown has a little something for everyone in its eclectic mix of the old and the new — including some ethnic eateries that are genuine “best kept secrets.”

ARTIST STATEMENT
Painting, for me, is the culmination of forty years of art exploration, teaching, and artistic influences. As an artist, art educator, and lifelong resident of the Long Branch area, I continually find inspiration in the beauty of the Jersey shore with its breathtaking landscapes, water views, and beach scenes. I have received recognition for my work over the years including Who’s Who in American Art, solo exhibits at major universities, museums, and galleries in New Jersey, and I’ve been featured in numerous juried and invitational shows. My work hangs in public and private collections thoughout the United States and Canada.
