"Footsteps - Journeys Near & Far"
a 2-person show with Joe Kazimierczyk and Ilya Raskin
at Artists' Gallery in Lambertville, NJ
July 10 - August 3, 2025
Opening Reception: Saturday, July 12, 5-7 pm  This year I'm teaming up with photographer Ilya Raskin in "Footsteps - Journeys Near and Far". Ilya is a world traveler whose photography captures the drama and grace
of life around the globe, from landscapes and wildlife to the people
who inhabit some of the most awe-inspiring places on Earth. My own work brings the focus closer to home. I continue to find
inspiration in the parks and preserves of northern New Jersey, painting
quiet forests, waterfalls, and winding trails where the familiar still
offers surprise.

This show is all about the paths we take and the beauty we find along
the way. Whether it's the far reaches of the Arctic or a sunlit stream
just a few miles from home, every journey is an adventure.

I'll be exhibiting my landscape paintings in a solo show at Harmony Brookside Gift Shop & Gallery,

subject matter from quiet farm scenes to the mountains of north Jersey.

I hope you’ll stop in and have a look. It’s a welcoming space,

When you're in the area, there are some good hiking options nearby -
Jockey Hollow (great for history buffs), Lewis Morris
Park (a bit more rugged than Jockey Hollow), and Dismal Harmony Natural Area (don't be fooled by that name).

The Tulpehaking Nature Center is one of the main entrances to the
Abbott Marshlands, and you should explore the trails when you come to see our show
- Beatrice tells me it's a good place for bird watching.
The marsh is rich in wildlife and Native American history,
and the name "Tulpehaking" means "Land of the Turtle" in the language of the Lenape.
For me, this location has a personal connection - as a kid, I used to play down here and I remember
fishing in the lake with my father. Back then, we called it White City Lake.
If you grew up in the area, you might remember that name too.
While none of my paintings in the show depict the Abbott Marshlands specifically,
many of them focus on water-themed scenes like rivers and lakes.
We hope you can stop by, see the show, and explore a bit!
