Exhibit in R.B. showcases work of local artist

Paintings by local artist Bonnie McKee Tortora will be on exhibit at the Oyster Point Hotel in Red Bank from Nov. 6 through Dec. 31.

"Atlantic Dancers" Almost two dozen paintings from Tortora's "Deep Sea" series and "Tuscany" series will transform the lobby and the second floor of the hotel into a riverside gallery.

Tortora's artistic process includes oil, acrylic and melted wax applied in an abstracted, repetitive pattern.

Tortora said, "These paintings become an extension of the Navesink River, which flows visually into the hotel."

Her paintings have been shown in numerous galleries and museums in New York and New Jersey and hang in corporate and private collections. Her work can be seen online at Art4business and www.bonniemckeetor" tora.com.
