Assemblywoman Aura Dunn supports County College of Morris students’ artwork

Community Invited to View "The Landscape in Pastels" of Morris County

CHESTER, NJ (Morris County) – Assemblywoman Aura K. Dunn is showcasing the work of six County College of Morris (CCM) Visual Art students in her Chester office.

The exhibit, of landscapes in pastels, was created in conjunction with Professor Todd L. W. Doney’s class, in the department of Art & Humanities, as students were asked to explore and portray the beauty of Morris County.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for our students to gain experience at exhibiting their work,” said Doney. “It’s also a wonderful chance for the community to view the high-quality work produced by CCM students and perhaps purchase a painting of a local setting if they wish.”

The exhibition features the work of the following student artists: Jophiel Gonzales, Jr., of Kearny, Katherine Hernandez of Dover, Jay Mezzina of Flanders, Belen Roldan of Boonton, Riley Ryder of Rockaway and Teja Young of Hamburg.

“Special thanks to Assemblywoman Dunn for giving us this opportunity,” said Doney.

This is the seventh exhibit Dunn is supporting and displaying in her office as she continues the CCM tradition established in 2013 with Senator Anthony M. Bucco.

The exhibition will run through October at Dunn’s office, located at 191 Main Street, Suite D, Chester. Office hours are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
