"Shad Man on the Delaware"
Artist: Howard Michaels
This ca.1910 fisherman from Lambertville is proudly posing with his Shadfish while waded in the Delaware River. The print was created from an black-&-white vintage photograph, that was hand tinted with photo oils.

Visual Stream will be o'fish-ially open for Shad Fest! Stop in this Saturday and Sunday April 27 and 28 from 1 - 5 pm.

Visual Stream is thrilled to have the wonderful Lauren Johnson as an artist guest in our “Mix Tape Vol.2” show.

Lauren Johnson is a writer and artist based in Lambertville NJ.
She studied English and the arts at Bard College, with a focus on short stories and illustration.
Her preferred method of currency is humor, and she describes her work as being “as dull as funny can buy.” Her characters are often depicted doing mundane tasks, like vacuuming campsites, or navigating sandwiches in outers pace.
Often, there are snacks involved, which acts as a device to bring the viewer in, because, perhaps everyone loves snacks.
Her work has been shown throughout Hunterdon and Mercer County, and she is currently working on a book of illustrated short stories, as well as a series of narrated and illustrated short films.

Check out “Confidence on Deck” one of her gorgeous and humorous illustration that will be on display this April 12th at our Mix Tape Show.

Today Visual Stream has the honor of introducing one of the most talented photographers in the region .a. Shofed.

Sometime after being laid-off and after his second kidney transplant C.a. Shofed decided during his recovery that he would give fine arts photography a go. "I had moved to Trenton, New Jersey and the art scene in my new home town was raw, vibrant and easy to access unlike the small town I grew up in. Trenton's art scene is mature and is just now being discovered by the world outside its borders. Artists like Leon Rainbow and Kasso are leading the charge. In my neighborhood alone there was an artist with a piece owned and displayed at the MoMa, a documentary filmmaker, a cinematographer, an actor and several musicians. What an amazing place to feed the creative juices!". C.a. Shofed’s art has been exhibited and sold in galleries and museums across the globe including Philadelphia, New York, San Diego, London and many places along within the continental United States and Europe. C.a. Shofed has taken a stab at curating by creating an annual show featuring artists inspired by my home town of Trenton. The highly successful show is called “Common Threads” and has been hosted successfully for the last 6 years at Hopewell Valley Vineyards. The success of Common Threads has led to Shofed curating at the Vineyard on a permanent basis and becoming the curator at Trenton’s newest gallery The BSB. "I use the curating opportunity at Hopewell Valley Vineyards to give back to my art community and to pass on what I have learned."

Dive in “Figure & Flag” this urban landscape interpretation with a patriotic flair.
