SUMMARY:Rooted in Bloom
DESCRIPTION:Rooted in Bloomby Prajakta Joshi\nOn View: August 29 – October 3\, 2026Opening Reception: Wednesday\, September 9\, 5-7pmGarden Club Collaboration on view starting Friday\, September 25\nArtist statement: \nBorn in Mumbai\, raised in Dubai\, and with years in the fast-paced design worlds of India and New York\, New Jersey\, Prajakta Joshi’s life has been an ongoing study in perspective. While her career led her to build her own design agency\, her creative soul remains anchored in something gentler and far more enduring: the elemental wisdom of the natural world. \nAs a practitioner of Yoga and Ayurveda\, Prajakta sees life not as a series of fixed moments\, but as a quiet\, rhythmic dance between Earth\, Fire\, Water\, Air\, and Space. These elemental forces do not simply surround us; they flow through our minds and bodies\, shaping how we experience growth and change. \nIn Rooted in Bloom\, Prajakta turns her lens toward this subtle energy. Her paintings move beyond traditional depictions of flowers and landscapes\, seeking instead to translate the invisible pulse of living things. Her work honors the forces of nature that guide us through transformation\, using bold color and gestural forms to translate the emotional and physical impact of movement onto the canvas. Through the softer gradients\, gestural forms\, she captures the delicate impermanence of nature—the swift rush of air\, the subtle shift of light\, and the fleeting beauty of a moment caught just before it becomes a memory. Her work reminds us that to truly bloom\, we must first allow ourselves to be moved by the quiet forces that sustain us. \n								\n									artist website\n					\n														\n									artist instagram

SUMMARY:Jersey Art Meetup (JAM)
DESCRIPTION:Princeton Comic Makers presents: JERSEY ART MEETUPS (JAM)\, a weekly social event connecting creatives within the greater Central Jersey area through a shared passion for sequential art and new media.  Attendees may use this open workshop space to draw\, write\, and develop their own artwork\, with an opportunity to receive peer review and feedback from other members if desired. Illustrators\, animators\, writers\, and generalists are all welcome to join and discuss their art and career goals\, share learning resources\, promote current projects\, or find friends and collaborators. Together\, we aspire to cultivate a local community that keeps artists motivated towards achieving their dreams! \n\nOpen to ages 16+ of any skill level interested in any form of narrative art and design (i.e. Animation\, Concept Art\, Comics\, Game Design\, Picture Books\, etc.)\nGroup meets weekly on Wednesdays from 7pm to 9pm. Casual attendance is accepted!\nBringing own materials is highly encouraged. Some basic materials are provided – paper\, pencils\, etc. – but please bring any tools necessary to help you create (i.e. drawing tablets\, sketchbooks\, etc.)\n\nWho we are: Sponsored by artist and educator Ronah Harris\, Princeton Comic Makers is an artist collective founded in 2023 by local illustrators Christina Castro\, Suyang Gong\, and Masha Zhdanova after noticing a lack of in-person community spaces for NJ-based artists specializing in narrative arts and communications design. Although we create independently\, we often exhibit together at events such as MoCCA Fest\, Anime NYC\, and Camden Comic Con. Our weekly study group motivated us to strive towards completing projects and working towards professional goals\, so we hope more people can benefit from this club! \nChristina Castro is a freelance illustrator and storyboard artist who graduated from Pratt Institute (2018) with a BFA in Digital Arts (2D Animation) and a minor in Creative Writing. Past clients include Smashbits Animation\, gal-dem zine\, and Bad Robot. Christina also currently organizes and leads the production management of several indie charity zines\, collaborating with writers\, illustrators\, and musicians all around the world. Suyang Gong is a fine artist and illustrator who graduated from Rutgers (2021) with a BFA in Fine Arts. She has formerly worked as a teaching assistant at the Sharron Art Center for 3 years\, tutoring students in refining technical drawing skills. Suyang also specializes in traditional media\, often using materials like graphite\, ink\, and oil paint to create dynamic works. Masha Zhdanova is a freelance writer\, editor\, and illustrator who graduated from SCAD (2019) with a BFA in Sequential Art and recently completed her MFA in Cartooning at the Center for Cartoon Studies (2022). She was a teaching assistant for two Winter workshops at CCS and has taught comics classes for kids at the Princeton Public Library.
