(BARNEGAT, NJ) -- The Ocean County Library Barnegat Branch presents “Now and Then,” an exhibit of paintings by local artist Robert Organes, during the month of October. The display marks Robert’s return to the Barnegat Branch as a contributing artist. He has also exhibited in regional juried shows and galleries in northern New Jersey.

Robert attended Newark Fine and Industrial Art School. He applies acrylics to canvas and board. 

“[Painting feels] like a puzzle,” Robert has said of his work. “Trying to make all the pieces fit and succeed is one of my life’s greatest rewards.”

“Now and Then” is open to the public and free of charge. Registration is not required to view the exhibit. For more information, visit the Branch, 112 Burr Street, call (609) 698-3331, or visit www.theoceancountylibrary.org/events.
