The Connections Bridgewater Somerville Edition Sept/Oct/Nov

THE BRIDGEWATER-SOMERVILLE CONNECTION PAGE 6 SEPT/OCT/NOV 2021 theconnectionsnj.com Welcome to a new school year! We are looking at safer travels over Labor Day weekend, full-day schools, and a fun Hal- loween for all! Needless to say, celebrations are in order! With that in mind, we are excited to feature a robust ‘Celebrations & Events’ section in this is- sue. Connect with venues, catering, entertainment, orists, personal grooming, travel & transportation, party supplies, gifts & more! Over the years The Connection Magazines has emerged as the preferred choice for businesses tomar- ket their brands and for readers to look for everything related to LOCAL shopping, dining, and activities. The love for LOCAL is not just an idea for us. Through our PRINT and DIGITAL magazines, we have consistently managed to spread this love, keeping our readers engaged and involved. Dan Gluibizzi’s artwork adorns our cover with a piece using a mixture of watercolor brush markers and acrylic paint on watercolor paper entitled "Cut Flow- ers". Dan remarks, “The inspiration comes from the gardener, Allison, who is also the owner of this piece. The owers, cut from her garden, adorn her outdoor table. I wanted to contin- ue to see the light play, in the vase and the owers, with a touch of the gar- den they originated from. As an Artist, I move back and forth between repre- sentational and abstract work, a pendulum swing, always with light and movement as my motiva- tion.” Please read Dan’s impressive bio on page 8.
