(TUCKERTON, NJ) -- The Ocean County Library Tuckerton Branch will present a live program featuring noted New Jersey artist Carol Neugebauer on Monday, May 16 at 7:00pm. Carol will sign copies of her newly-published debut book, Love Letters from the Lord. The Ocean County resident and Rowan University alumna wrote and illustrated the volume of inspirational passages, which are greatly influenced by a lifelong love of nature that also informs her watercolors, gouache, and acrylics.

The Pine Shores Art Association member has said that of her favorite media, watercolor offers excitement in its “…free, washy, light qualities. Watercolor also has the element of unexpected challenge,” she added.

Carol has displayed her works at the Pine Shores Art Association in Manahawkin, as well as Tuckerton Seaport, the borough halls of Tuckerton and Beach Haven, and galleries and bistros from Long Beach Island to Brigantine to Mount Holly.

During her career in elementary art education, Carol also taught teen and adult classes while heightening her skills under the guidance of artists Jerry Knott, Joyce Lawrence and Tom Rutledge. 

Registration at www.theoceancountylibrary.org/events is required for this free program. The Tuckerton Branch is at 380 Bay Avenue, and can be reached at (609) 296-1470.
