Wall Art Display - Mary Bradley In-Person
Our August wall art display is by local artist Mary Bradley. Mary Bradley is an award winning artist and native of Ridgewood New Jersey. She now resides in Wayne NJ. Mary began her study of painting with the Ridgewood Art Association. She studied under Alan Alberts and a number of other instructors as a young adult. She continued her studies as she minored in art while attending Westbrook College in Portland Maine. Mary refocused her interest in the arts to photography with the goal of someday painting from her own photography. Her favorite subjects took her to Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket. She enjoyed seeing her New York City works displayed in serval galleries in lower Manhattan. She recently decided it was time to return to her first love of capturing the beauty and light of her photographs on to a canvas. Mary has most recently found support and guidance from Michael Malzone at the Creators Workshop in Wayne, NJ.

Janette is the Assistant Director. She has a B.A. in History and an M.S. in Library Science. Among her many responsibilities, her favorite is selecting and ordering books for the adult fiction, nonfiction and large print collections.
An avid reader, Janette runs the Romantic Fiction (first Wednesday of the month) and the Page Turners (second Wednesday of the month) book groups. She is also a supporter of the romance genre and will gladly help "match you" with the perfect romance novel.
In 2021, Janette launched a Virtual Author Chat series where she chats with local authors about their writing and their path to publication. All of the chats have been recorded and are available to watch on the library's YouTube channel. In 2025, Janette established a writers' circle at the library. Pen to Paper at Wayne PL meets on the third Saturday of each month. In concert with the writers' circle, Janette also organizes monthly writing workshops which are led by local published authors.
