TOMS RIVER – Experience the vibrant beauty of the Jersey Shore through the eyes of local artists Robert and Linda Henne. Their upcoming exhibition “Together in Art,” will be on display throughout February 2024 at the Ocean County Artists’ Guild, with an opening reception on February 2 (1 to 4 p.m.) This captivating show features the colorful oil paintings of Robert Henne and the unique photographic perspectives of Linda Henne.
The Hennes, a husband-and-wife team from Toms River, have received accolades for their work, with some pieces earning awards for their artistic excellence. Their combined talents offer a harmonious blend of painting and photography that highlights the natural beauty and charm of their surroundings.
Robert’s paintings are a celebration of color, capturing the essence of coastal scenes with a vivid palette that brings the settings to life. Linda’s photographs offer a fresh and unique view of life along the river in Island Heights and other picturesque New Jersey locations. Together, their work showcases the striking visual beauty of the Toms River area and the Jersey Shore.
Originally from Ewing, NJ, Robert has exhibited his paintings extensively in central New Jersey and Bucks County Pennsylvania (Toms River, Freehold, Red Bank, Princeton, Trenton, Lambertville/New Hope). He has participated in many juried shows and has several solo shows to his credit.
Linda grew up in East Windsor, NJ. She had an interest in photography for many years, but it wasn’t until her visual skills were needed by a local community news website that she began to focus her eye on the local scenes. Her photos of sunsets, rising moons, and more were seen on social media and enjoyed by thousands of area residents.
Entrance to the exhibit is free, with parking on the street around the Victorian house headquarters of the Artists’ Guild, 22 Chestnut Street, Island Heights.
Robert and Linda Henne were the founders of Toms River Online, a website that Micromedia Publications purchased from them in 2021.
