2 Local Artists Exhibit Works At Bridgewater Library Branch

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — Throughout the month of May 2024, the Somerset County Library System of New Jersey's (SCLSNJ) Bridgewater branch is hosting two art exhibits featuring the work of local artists.

Jennifer Troulis' exhibit entitled, "Modern Pointillism," is influenced by her love for bold, lively colors, especially blues and turquoise. Troulis gathers inspiration and memories from her family and everyday life.

Anamika Sinha’s artwork is a vibrant exploration of the intersection between contemporary portraiture and the timeless allure of mandala art. Through her artwork, Sinha strives to create a space where the viewer can explore the rich tapestry of human existence.
