Ocean County Library Toms River Branch to Feature Art and Photography by Lorraine Pretty

originally published: 01/26/2023

(TOMS RIVER, NJ) -- The Ocean County Library Toms River Branch presents an exhibit, “Art and Photography by Lorraine Pretty,” throughout the month of February. The Ocean County resident’s display will be showcased in the Branch’s Second Floor Gallery. 

Lorraine recalled that learning how to work with oils and watercolors in various classes during the past several years allowed her interest to advance from a hobby to a passion. She focuses on florals, landscapes, and still life.

The exhibit will also highlight Lorraine’s eye for photography. With characteristic modesty, she says that she considers herself a photographer when she is “in the right place, at the right time.”

“Art and Photography by Lorraine Pretty” is free and open to the public during normal Branch operating hours. For more information, stop by the Branch, 101 Washington Street, visit www.theoceancountylibrary.org/events, or call (732) 349-6200.

A sketchbook, like a diary, is personal. It is usually not planned for public consumption. It's where the maker first brings to light ideas that come from deep inside. The self-edit function, the perfectionist, is turned off.
