Local Artist Creates New Artworks in Honor of Oceanic Library

Local fiber artist/ musician, Julia Muench, has recently created a completely new series of artwork specifically in honor, and to benefit Rumson, New Jersey’s 100 year old Oceanic Free Library.

In an exhibit entitled "Tides & Portals", the theme of the artwork in focuses on the oceanic surroundings, relating to the cosmos.

Featured in this new fiber art exhibit, Julia’s artworks will be on display and available for sale to the public, only through the month of September 2022, for her Tides & Portals art show. Sales of artwork go benefit this unique and independent library.

A recent viewer of the works remarks: " …a motif that has rhythm and gravity. I am reminded of atoms and planets. They definitely start a conversation, because of their enigmatic presence, and so much can be imagined from seeing them…”

There will also be smaller gift items available throughout the September exhibit.

Each art piece is a completely unique work of art, which cannot be replicated, and is created by Julia, with sustainable, plant-based fabrics and materials, such as: cotton, batik, hemp, linen, and even re-purposed denim. Along with her award-winning artwork, local resident, Julia Muench has had a decades long career here in music, teaching and performing, which can be seen as a strong influence on her artwork. She is also a member of the Art Alliance in Red Bank, New Jersey.

Save the date! There will also be a special art opening evening of “meet & greet” the artist to learn more about Julia’s art process, and how she creates these unique works of art, with an opportunity to see and touch the materials, on September 22, from 5:00 -7:00 PM.

You can contact Julia directly via her artwork archive website: https:www.artworkarchive.com/profile... with any questions, or call the library at: 732-842-2692
