Evocative: Award-winning artist Nadine Yura’s work is on display at the Barnegat branch of the Ocean County Library through May. Her striking and expressive artwork depicts still life, figurative and landscape scenes in oil, watercolor, charcoal and ink.

A member of Pine Shores Art Association and the American Impressionist Society, Yura’s talent was evident starting in grade school. Her instructors at Rutgers University helped her to find her voice and develop technique.

“College brought my artistic abilities to a higher level,” she said.
