SCLSNJ's Warren Township branch, located at 42 Mountain Boulevard in Warren Township, will be hosting the art work of local Bedminster artist Joyce M. Lembo through July 31, 2024. Her exhibit, titled Art for the Heart, features mixed media including acrylic on canvas as well as mixed-photography enhanced in Photoshop.
"My hope is to have my art tell a story; evoke a feeling; touch one's heart," said Lembo. "Art begins as a concept and grows into an incredible creation that emanates from the heart. It has a spiritual purpose - beginning to completion. Whether the artist is aware of this occurring or not - I have always believed the creative process is propelled from the very deepest essence of the heart - perhaps it comes from the soul. No matter what we believe, there is no greater joy than to see a young child with a box of crayons happily working away with pure freedom with no cares, totally lost in the creative process."
