mymsmermaidlife

NJ Expo Center

mymsmermaidlife ​I had such a great time at the Abilities Expo today! We got to see so many cool things and met so many wonderful, amazing people. What an incredible community! 

​My heart is full but my battery is at 0%—I am exhausted as hell, but every second was worth it!!

Here’s a little look at the day:

🔸️​The Expo floor in 30 seconds (it was a whirlwind!) @abilities_expo 💨

🔸️Trying out the Rollz chair with @rollzint (I ended up buying one!) 

🔸️​Testing out some game-changing tech with @motusnova 

🔸️​Making some very important (and furry) friends at @canineorg 

🔸️​Connecting with new faces who feel like old friends! @positive_pieces_llc 

​Now, I’m officially powering down. 

Stay tuned for:

5/9 WELCOMING RECEPTION ARTIST IN RESIDENCE TIM ROBINSON--CROTON RIVER ARTISANS GALLERY

Join the Gallery in welcoming Tim Robinson to our gallery as our newest Artist in Residence. We will have a welcoming reception this Saturday, May 9, 3-5pm. Stop by to meet the artist and enjoy some light refreshments. (CLICK ON THE IMAGE.)

Artist in Residence, Tim Robinson:

Starting as a successful editorial illustrator from 1990 through the 2020’s, Tim has recently returned, more and more, to the joy of pure painting. His oils of the surrounding landscape and woodlands, and the hills and wildlife nearby, are widely collected both locally and regionally. Tim has progressively taken more liberty with color and form as he depicts scenes in our local wilderness, trying to paint the woods as we remember them, rather than obsessing about the literal. These paintings are meant to convey the peace and beauty of the woods, the local landscape, and the wildlife as it reveals to us (just visitors) what will continue, as always, when we are gone. These are efforts to paint the land as it is, without us.
