Arts in the Community Award 2025
We’re incredibly honored to have been nominated for — and to receive — the Somerset County Cultural & Heritage, Excellence in the Arts Award for Arts in the Community.
Brooke’s art reflects a deep appreciation for process, texture, and the interplay between traditional and experimental forms. Her pieces invite viewers to engage with both the tactile qualities of print and the narrative possibilities of mixed media.
