Scherman Hoffman Wildlife Sanctuary
Wayrick Wildlife Art Gallery at the Scherman Hoffman Wildlife Sanctuary
New Jersey Audubon's Scherman Hoffman Wildlife Sanctuary 11 Hardscrabble Road, Bernardsville, NJ, United StatesThis summer, The Wayrick Wildlife Art Gallery at the Scherman Hoffman Wildlife Sanctuary will feature an exciting new exhibit titled “Windows Into Nature” by local artist David Clair. All sale proceeds from the exhibit will be donated to NJ Audubon. As David relates “Most of the pieces in this show present landscape elements as viewed through abstract windows. The framework is usually done in acrylics and the scenes are some combination of acrylics and collage. The collage elements use magazine papers that have undergone varying degrees of solvent treatment. Using lacquer thinner the printed image can be faded or completely destroyed and the inks quickly worked into the desired texture. In turn, the resulting textures are useful in representing rock formations and foliage in landscapes as well as other textural effects for more abstract work.” David Clair has been painting since the early nineteen sixties. Since his retirement in 1990, he has had more time to pursue his art and has experimented with a variety of collage and mixed media techniques.His work has appeared in shows at the Atrium Gallery in Morristown, the Bernardsville Library, the Morris Arts Gallery, and juried exhibits at the Mountain Art Show, the Somerset Art Association and the Tewksbury Historical Society. “Windows Into Nature” is free and open to the public Wednesday - Sunday throughout the summer. Gallery Hours July 1 - August 31, 2024 Wednesdays: 10:00am to 3:00pm Thursday - Saturday: 9:00am to 5:00pm Sundays: noon to 5:00pm Cost: FREE Location: Wayrick Wildlife Art Gallery on the second floor of the Scherman Hoffman Sanctuary, 11 Hardscrabble Rd. in Bernardsville.

NJ Audubon: July Mushroom Meander
Scherman Hoffman Wildlife Sanctuary 11 Hardscrabble Rd, Bernardsville, NJ, United StatesLed by Dorothy Smullen, Teacher/Naturalist, former president of the New Jersey Mycological Association Join Dorothy for a “talk and walk” to discover the fascinating world of fungi. Fungi have been used for thousands of years by humans, not only as food but as medicine, fire-starters, insect repellants, decoration, for religious ceremonies and more. Fungi are very important to forests. Not only are they decomposers and recyclers in the forest ecosystem, but they also connect to tree roots – a mutualistic symbiosis that might allow trees to communicate with each other. After a talk and display about fungi fun facts, we will walk the trails to look for the diverse groups of mushrooms and fungi. Hand-outs available. One person per ticket. Ticket sale ends 7/19 at 4:00 PM. COST: $15 members, $20 nonmembers. Interested in becoming a member? Please click on the following link to learn more or join: Become a Member today!
