York Optician, CEO Executive Suites and Abingdon Care and Rehabilitation Center. Our talented writers have given us unique insight into these businesses and their respective owners. Each April, we feature a student artist on our front cover and this year is no exception. We are delighted to present “Abby’s Boot,” an oil, painted by young artist Abagail Pedroso. Abagail, a Warren resident, is a senior at Watchung Hills Regional High School. When asked about her inspiration for this piece she said, “This was a summer assignment for Fine Art 3 entering AP last fall. The students were asked to complete an accurate rendering of a shoe or shoes.” Most students stuck to those parameters, but Abby expanded on the idea and put a unique spin on the project. This ended up being a catalyst for her con- centration, which explores the relationship between the human body and nature. Please read Abby’s bio on page 8.
