During the month of May, Artists' Gallery features the work of wildlife artist, Beatrice Bork, and landscape painter, Joe Kazimierczyk, two artists who share a deep connection to nature through their paintings. Both artists take their inspiration from natural settings and as one takes in the work of these two fine artists, that connection becomes evident. Bork paints intimate scenes depicting animals we share our earth with, while Kazimierczyk paints quiet country scenes still common in this area. Join them and their fresh array of new work on Saturday, May 9 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. for an opening reception at Artists’ Gallery. The exhibition runs May 8 – May 31, 2009.

Beatrice Bork is a member of the Society of Animal Artists, an association of international artists, devoted to promoting excellence in the portrayal of the creatures sharing our planet. She has had many honors including, the Don Eckelberry Award, given for achievements in bird art. Her art has been exhibited in solo shows such as: “Birds and Deviations” at ETS—Brodsky Gallery, “For the birds…” at Princeton University, and group exhibits and tours including: “Art and the Animal” at various museums throughout the United States, “20th International Exhibition on Animals in Art” at Louisiana State University, and “Art of the Animal Kingdom XIII,” at Bennington Center for the Arts, Vermont. Beatrice has representation in public and private collections around the world, such as “Green Honeycreepers” at Asa Wright Nature Center in Trinidad, West Indies. Her artwork has been published in Wildlife Art and Animal Companion magazines, and Best of Wildlife Art, books volume 1 and 2. “Growing up in Hunterdon County, my summers were filled with hikes in the farmers fields or nearby woods. There was always some creature that we would inevitably bring home lightning-bugs, turtles, toads or sometimes even a snake. Quiet exploration led me to realize what wonders truly existed right around me and animals naturally became the focus of my art. It is easy for me to connect with my subject matter, for I am still deeply inspired by them,” says Bork.

Joe Kazimierczyk works with oils in a style of traditional realism and his work has consistently won awards in many of the regional juried art exhibitions. You can often find him painting at his favorite spots throughout Hunterdon and Somerset Counties as he paints many of his works on location. Joe is drawn to the places where man and nature overlap, but nature still prevails—the farmlands and back roads that still surround him at his home in the Sourland Mountains. "I love to wander around deep in the woods, but for my paintings, I'm always drawn to the fringes of civilization. I enjoy the places where man and nature coexist," says Kazimierczyk, "and it's in these quiet fringe places that I really feel at home."
