Our talented writers have given us unique insight into these businesses and their respective owners. Local artist, Serena Bocchino, adorns our front cover with an enamel paint and gold leaf on canvas entitled, “Rhythm and Lace (from the Twirl Series).“ The Twirl series is inspired by dance and movement. Serena states, “This painting is particularly my response to seeing Merce Cunningham and his Dance Company perform in NYC in the 1990s.” In keeping with this theme, Serena’s most recent project collaboration is “Serena Bocchino’s Couture Collection.“ This painting will be featured on a Cashmere and Silk Pashmina with fox fur trim around the collar and fox fur pom-poms. It will be available for purchase at The Red Toad boutique in Far Hills, NJ.
