The Museum invites the public to hear artist Benjamin Roman talk about his work on June 9 at 4 p.m., after our Spring Family Fun Day, 12 - 3:30 pm. His series of watercolor portraits of children are on view through June 30 in the Upper Gallery of the Museum in an exhibit titled, "Portraits of Childhood."
Roman has been an art teacher for kindergarten, pre-K and pre-school children in area schools for the past 16 years. He now teaches at Beyond Basic Learning, in Hoboken, and paints at least three or four times a week.
As a teacher, he finds children a fascinating subject matter, but he also paints portraits of adults, and landscapes. He's fascinated with the challenge of depicting in his subjects' expressions the essence of what it means to be young and innocent. "To capture the warmth and heart revealed in a child's face is my ultimate goal."
