(BARNEGAT, NJ) -- New Jersey artist Monroe Mullin declares his affinity for veterans wounded while serving their country in “FREEDOM” (Expressions of Color), his exhibit that remains on display throughout the month of March at the Ocean County Library Barnegat Branch.
“Life is never the same for those that suffer in silence, emotionally and physically, with dignity,” Mullin said in dedicating his exhibit. “The exhibit is also dedicated to my father, who served in the U.S. Navy as a Gunner’s Mate in World War II.” Mullin donates half of the proceeds derived from his works to the Wounded Warrior Project.
The Plainfield native’s display consists of acrylic abstract pieces. He gained his art education at Indian Valley College, Novato, California.
Born Peter David Mullin, he is also an accomplished musician, singer and songwriter who changed his name more than 20 years ago in homage to bluegrass music legend Bill Monroe. Mullin is engaged by the Nashville-based Merf Music Group.
“I consider myself a Renaissance man, dedicating my life to the rejuvenation of all that is creative,” Mullin said. “I have so much more to say…Come and get to know me and my art.”
“FREEDOM” (Expressions of Color) is open to the public during regular operating hours. No registration is required to view the exhibit. For more information, visit the Barnegat Branch, 112 Burr Street, or call (609) 698-3331.
