The Lundt/Glover gallery at the Chatham Township Municipal Building also has a solo show of paintings "NJ Beyond-Landscape Paintings" by Debora Thedinga, Berkeley Heights, landscape and plein air painter. Debora’s paintings primarily focus on scenes from her home state of New Jersey and the surrounding areas. Her rich, impressionistic paintings depict familiar motifs of human design that establish a link between nostalgia and the landscape’s reality. Whether completed in her studio or on location (en plein air), Debora pushes herself to create pieces that evoke a mood that resonates with the viewer.

Debora says, “Painting images on a small scale is both challenging and rewarding. The challenge is to use color, value, and light in a way that allows an expansive vista to be viewed successfully through a small window. The creation of a mood that transports the viewer through this tiny porthole and into the landscape is the ultimate reward.”
