An opening reception for all exhibits will be held on Sunday, November 3, 11 a.m.-1 p.m. at JCC MetroWest, located at 760 Northfield Avenue, West Orange, New Jersey. The reception and exhibits are free and open to the community.
“I’m always excited to exhibit work by women artists and support and encourage their achievements in the field,” stated Lisa Suss, JCC MetroWest’s visual arts manager.
Mozelle Forman’s pastels will be on display in the Gaelen Gallery East. Forman is an award-winning pastel artist based in Long Branch, New Jersey, where she passionately paints the beauty of the world surrounding us. Her joy in creating art from vibrant sticks of pastel is enriched by her artwork’s ability to make the viewer “feel.” Forman’s “Artichauts et Amis” was awarded “Best in Drawings/Pastel” at the 2019 Gaelen Juried Art Show.
Lizzy Synalovski’s mixed-media works will also be on display in our Gaelen Gallery East. Synalovski’s pieces are pristine and evocative with subtle use of color. Nature is important to this young artist, a recent college graduate with a BFA in printmaking from University of Hartford. She is proud to be active in the local Jewish community both professionally and personally. Her “Icelandic Sky” was awarded “Best in Mixed Media” at the 2019 Gaelen Juried Art Show.
Jennifer Levine’s paintings will be exhibited in the Leon & Toby Cooperman JCC, Ross Family Campus lower lobby. She is a self-taught/outsider artist whose current body of work is inspired by her own journey as a single mother raising a teenage daughter. Having discovered painting at the age of 40, she founded “The Peace Garden Song and Mural Project”—a mural arts residency program in New Jersey. To date, she has worked with over 1,000 New Jersey schoolchildren. She is currently a teaching artist with Morris Arts and the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.
