Local artist, Rae Hoffman, adorns our cover with a watercolor entitled “Trip to the Farmers Market.” Rae was inspired to paint this piece because of the fabulous Zinnias at the Bernardsville Farmer’s Market in the summer. A native and life long resident of New Jersey, Ms. Hoffman has made Bernardsville her home for over 40 years. Her deep roots in Somerset and Hunterdon Counties and her love of the rolling hills and farmland of this area are reflected in many of her paintings. Please read Rae’s impressive bio on page 8.
