Works by artists from Burlington, Cape May and Gloucester counties on display
Public invited to March. 13 Open House/Gallery Reception from 5:30 to 7:30 in the terminal
EGG HARBOR TWP. – A diverse display of styles are evident this month in the ArtPort Gallery located in the Atlantic City International Airport (ACY).
The works of Carol Taylor-Kearney of Wenonah, Gina C of Sea Isle City, and Steve Kuzma and Rachel Bomze of Marlton are on display for the entire month of March in the unique ArtPort gallery, which opened in the security screening area of the airport in September 2006. More than 35,000 travelers a month move through ACY airport security.
An Open House honoring the March guest artists will be held on Tuesday, March 13. Admission is free and refreshments are provided.
“The ArtPort is broadening it reach into the South Jersey community this month with the selection of artists from Burlington, Gloucester and Cape May counties,” said Bart Mueller, noting that the Atlantic City International Airport serves travelers from all over the state. “Each artist brings their own unique perspective and style to the gallery.”
Gina C, of Sea Isle City, paints land and seascapes, still and floral displays, equine and wildlife subjects and architecturals. Her work has been described as “photo realism” or “hyper realism” as she enjoys giving the attention to detail that this process involves. She has participated in the prestigious Wings ‘n Water Festival in Stone Harbor, New Jersey where she received an Honorable Mention in the watercolor division.
Steve Kuzma of Marlton studied at the Philadelphia College of Art and Parsons The New School of Design in New York City. He graduated with honors from Parsons and was awarded fellowships to study overseas in Sienna, Italy and Paris, France. Beginning his career in illustration, he worked for clients such as KLM Airways and Salin Linbald Cruises. Art directors were particularly fond of his work as it incorporated a strong sense of color and motion, reflecting Steve’s strong interest in sports and his great love of the outdoors. The New York Times, New York Marathon, and Sport Monday commissioned his artwork and it has been featured in numerous publications. He maintains a studio in Marlton, New Jersey.
Carol Taylor-Kearney of Wenonah is a life-long resident of southern New Jersey who specializes in
found objects and found ideas. She creates her art on windows that have been discarded. The panes are in a technique called reverse painting on glass, while the sashes are carved and painted. They hang from the chains that fit window to casement. A graduate of Rowan University in Glassboro, NJ (BA Art Education) and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia (MFA Painting), she has exhibited her work regionally; and her work is part of several corporate, public, and private collections. In this past year Carol has exhibited her work in a solo exhibition at ETS Connant Hall Gallery in Princeton, NJ; and in juried group exhibitions at Creative Arts Workshop in New Haven, CT; the Delaware Center for Creative Arts in Wilmington, DE; and in Visions of Liberty at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.
Rachel Bomze of Marlton received her M.F.A. in painting at the Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Elkins Park, PA. She currently teaches drawing courses at Rowan University in Glassboro, NJ. She also teaches art classes at the Perkins Art Center in Moorestown, NJ. Rachel’s work was recently exhibited at the Isadore Gallery in Lancaster, PA. She also exhibited work at Cumberland County College in Vineland, NJ, and at Gallery 216 at Rowan University. She currently has work up at the D’jango Restaurant in Philadelphia, PA, organized by inliquid.com.
The Atlantic City International Airport has experienced an increase in passengers over the last several years, with about a million passengers moving through the airport annually. SJTA estimates that utilization of the airport could increase by double digits in the next couple of years with the expected addition of new airlines and new airline routes.
In order to accommodate this expected growth, the Authority is in the midst of a major expansion and improvement program that includes renovation and expansion of the terminal building and the construction of a 1,400-space parking garage just steps from the terminal.
