Berkeley Heights Woman's Photos To Be Featured By Freeholders

BERKELEY HEIGHTS, NJ — Nancy Ori's photos are reminiscent of her long-time mentor and landscape photographer, Ansel Adams.

Ori's photographs reveal a love of light, shadow, and form in natural and man-made settings. Her work will be on display at the Union County Administration Building as part of a special exhibit, Landscapes of Union County.

Ori has lived most of her life in Union County.

The exhibit, which also features artwork by Kat Block, will be on display until Nov. 1.

"I feel that continuing to exhibit these images can make a difference in our community by opening the eyes of residents to the many wonderful natural resources we have in Union County," Ori said. "The county fathers had such foresight to fight and establish the Union County Park System in the 1920s."

Ori received the Woman of Excellence in Arts and Humanities Award from the Commission on Advocacy for Women and the Union County Freeholders.

"Nancy Ori's powerful documentations of the land are a showcase for the Union County accomplishments in historic and natural preservation," said Union County Freeholder Chairman Sergio Granados.
