Asbury Park’s Ocean Park Gallery exhibits an eclectic mix of artwork and handmade picture frames. In addition to its permanent collection, the gallery is currently exhibiting several summer-themed pieces from fine artist Beth Mugglin. These include an original rendering of two horses nuzzling one another, as well as “Flower Festival,” a summery bouquet of vibrant tulips and daffodils. Another floral-themed oil painting entitled “Poppyfields” is also being offered by artist Peggy Corthovis.

The Ocean Park Gallery also offers a wide collection of artwork that captures the nostalgia and retro imagery that is exclusive to the Asbury Park area. A variety of local themes include images of Palace Amusements, the Scooter Ride, and the iconic carousel. Artist Theresa Heidel also taps into the local beauty of Asbury Park by capturing the finely detailed embellishments that adorn some of the town’s buildings.

After a long day at the beach, I suggest strolling into Ocean Park Gallery for a look at its vast collection of photos and paintings. Relaxing music brings ambiance to this local gallery that offers a friendly, casual vibe to both art enthusiasts and passersby.
