2 Municipal Plaza, Oakland, NJ
The Arts in Oakland Committee invites the community to experience Mostly Jersey, a vibrant art exhibition and sale celebrating the people, places, and personality of the Garden State. Featuring original paintings by Karen J. Waller and photography by Matt McKim, the exhibit runs from January 10 through February 15 at the Oakland Public Library. The public is warmly welcomed to attend the Opening Reception on Saturday, January 10, from 2:00 to 4:30 PM.
Through bold acrylic paintings and compelling photography, Mostly Jersey captures New Jersey’s changing landscapes and unforgettable moments. Matt McKim, owner of Lone Wolf Photography LLC, brings over 15 years of professional experience photographing everything from military operations and airshows to wildlife and classic cars. His images are honest, powerful, and deeply human. Follow his work on Instagram at @lonewolfphotographyllc.
Karen J. Waller, a fine art painter and retired award-winning art educator, preserves New Jersey’s rapidly disappearing roadside architecture. Her work is inspired by post–World War II Americana—neon signs, mom-and-pop shops, and the joy of the open road—serving as a poignant reflection on memory, time, and change.

Artwork from both artists will be available for purchase through the Oakland Public Library reception desk. A portion of all sales benefits the Oakland Public Library and the Arts in Oakland Committee. Purchased artwork may be picked up at the conclusion of the exhibit on February 15, from 2:00–4:30 PM.
