I am a watercolor artist operating a seasonal gallery in the Bayfront Historic District in Somers Point, NJ. In additiion to exhibiting my own art, I work with local and regional artists to provide exhibit space. I present artists to the community through a variety of projects. The gallery is very community minded and is involved in the Somers Point Business Assn, Somers Point Restaurant Week and student art exhibits.I opened Great Bay Gallery in the summer of 1993 in the front two rooms of our home on Bay Avenue. I continue to present exhibits at the gallery, bringing artists and poets together for collaborative projects as well as presenting individual artists. In addition to the painting and operating Great Bay Gallery, I am also a member and chair of the Somers Point Arts Commission. Our current project is the Richard Somers Mural Project: The Art of "His"story. The commission is raising funds for the mural which will be installed on the three walls of the addition of the Somers Point Branch of the Atlantic County Library System. If you are interested in more information about the mural, its progress or if you would like to support history and public art through a donation please contact me either via email katharleth@hotmail.com or telephone 609-653-4991. I would love to hear from you.
