Whittemore CCC community is a natural fit for my work, process, philosophy, and mission.
One of the most satisfying aspects of contributing to Whittemore are the opportunities to work with and help others as a team in our shared goals .
The support and collaboration I’ve experienced is nothing less than inspiring. Whittemore provides a public place for me to visually express my message…”We are the stewards of the planet and our community. Everything we do or do not do, requires us to address this awesome responsibility”.
Check back for details on the NEW works by David Horowitz and Jeff Mase.
SOLARIUM EXHBIT:
Alison Scherr - Artist
I am a painter interpreting the movement of light and patterns in nature, images unaltered by the human hand. Using a mix of house paint, ink, pastel and spray paint, I create large-scale paintings on drop cloth, plexiglass or sheet metal that are evocative of stopped moments of time. My process often begins with quickly pulling and dropping paint across the canvas, exploring my wingspan and how I move with the paint. I then layer graphic or symbolic marks to articulate a hidden dialogue in the natural world. My work explores the themes of unspoken language through movement and layering of color. Like nature, my paintings have an element of the unfinished
and spontaneous.
Greetings from Carolyn Thow, President- Friends of Whittemore
Whittemore is at its core, a nature center. The earth, the soil, plant life, the physical land is the heart and soul of WCCC. At WCCC, actual physical seeds take root and grow. THAT is, as well “planting its own seeds”, connecting artists that live and work throughout Hunterdon County with each other and the community.
Our 180-acre preserve was bequeathed to Tewksbury Township by our beloved Helen A. Whittemore. She was a nature lover and diarist who wanted her land and house to be preserved so that others may be awed by the natural world and inspired by its beauty to preserve it.
Our preserve includes Whittemore House, Whittemore Meadows and 11 miles of trails for hiking, dog walking, and exploring, photographing and painting nature. Trails traverse mainly wooded areas with wetlands, ravines, and hilly terrain. The preserve also serves as the perfect stage for birders and nature lovers to view local avian species and other wildlife.
How does the beauty of Whittemore inspire you? We are so excited about the partnerships we have forged and the programming we have lined up. From talented painters, certified master gardeners, award winning musicians, children’s camps, environmentalists, and a whole host of talented professionals and enthusiasts, there are so many ways to explore the beauty of our own backyard. We can’t wait to see you!
