The Spring Opening of the Manor House, Ringwood Manor, N.J.
As Project Manager and Creator of this delightful affair, I selected the Main Dining Room to display my work in.
After much detailed research that began 6 months prior to the exhibit, it was rewarding to see the end result realized. Attendance was over 4000 vistors between the hours of 12:00PM to 4:00PM!
All shops that worked on this benefited from the exposure!

A Wide View of the Main Dining Room
To be trusted, to be able to work in this location was truly an honor.
To this day it is still one of my most memorable accomplishments |

A Biedemeyer Styled Victorian Tribute
My mother who was one of the Brinkerhoff clan and my father had taken us as children many times over to this State Park. Unfortunatley, Mom had passed just 2 months proir to the opening of this exhibit. This piece was dedicated to her for introducing me the environs. A note attached suggested my hopes that she would have been proud of her son. |
