Building Basement Doubles as Gallery for Montclair Artist
Longtime Bellclair building manager Fernando Mariscal's work will be shown at upcoming exhibit at Newark Public Library.

I am a graduate of Verona High School and have been a resident of Caldwell since 2004, when my husband and I purchased a house we could not resist because it was steps away from both the downtown and Grover Cleveland Park. We are now raising two very active boys here and love our neighbors and neighborhood. Professionally, I have worked in community journalism for the past 12 years. I am the former editor of Caldwells Patch and Montclair Magazine and before that I was managing editor of The Montclair Times. From 1997 to 2001, I worked for what was then an Internet start-up, Audible.com, as a Web editor. So here I am, back online, doing the community journalism that I love and in communities I care so deeply about.
