"Origin of Wonder"
Featuring
Bill Jersey
and
Laura Rutherford Renner
May 6 - June 6, 2021
Artists Bill Jersey and Laura Rutherford Renner are pleased to announce
the
opening of their joint show, "Origin of Wonder", on Thursday, May 6th.
The exhibit, which runs through June 6th, features oil paintings by the
two artists. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, there will be no Opening
Reception for this exhibition.
"Origin of Wonder" invites you to pause, to see, to remember the wonder of the world that we share with you.
Residing in beautiful Hunterdon County, NJ, Bill Jersey states "I am
surrounded by creeks, forests, fields and hills-an abundance of scenes I
want to capture or interpret on canvas. Over time, my paintings evolved
from more realistic scenes of the natural world to more interpreted
representations, using dramatic colors to evoke fresh perspectives. As a
documentary filmmaker of many years, I learned to catch a moment in
time and use it to tell a larger story. That is what I seek to capture
in my paintings."
Laura Rutherford Renner, from Collingswood, NJ, enjoys painting figures
engaged in the experience of their environments. "Capturing these
interactions in two dimensions is an exercise and a source of calm. I
relish mixing pure colors, keeping my palette simple to create authentic
observation. The quiet engagement of brush to palette and brush to
board provides meaning for me everyday". Laura, an occupational
therapist for the past 27 years, is currently working with young
students in public school, aged 3-13 years old, on life skills and
academic tasks.

something new to see.
