“Canvas Tunnel” by Rob Henne

(TOMS RIVER, NJ) -- A New Jerey artist equally conversant in digital art and oils on canvas will display both at the Ocean County Library Toms River Branch. Rob Henne's dual exhibit will be on view Wednesday, May 1 through Friday, June 21, 2024.

You’re invited to meet Rob during his Artist Reception on Saturday, May 11 in the OCL Toms River Branch from 2:00pm to 4:00pm.

The exhibit in the McConnell Gallery will be Rob’s first digital showcase, featuring visionary images created through digital technology and traditional painting techniques, juxtaposed to show thematic similarities despite differing media and levels of abstraction.
