Local Artist's Mural Joins Children's Garden In Gloucester County

GLOUCESTER COUNTY, NJ — A new mural by a local artist has been added to the stairs to the Butterfly and Children’s Gardens at Red Bank Battlefield’s Butterfly Garden, Gloucester County officials announced on Tuesday.

The mural, titled “Mariposa,” was designed and painted by local artist Jacqualynn Tomasello. Its addition is the result of a grant that was awarded by the Gloucester County Cultural and Heritage Commission.

“The Butterfly Garden is a special part of Red Bank Battlefield and Gloucester County,” Gloucester County Director Robert M. Damminger said. “We wanted to celebrate the garden with a bright, new mural that will welcome our residents, visitors and butterflies.”

“We are very grateful to the Cultural and Heritage Commission for giving us the opportunity to partner with Jacqualynn for this beautiful piece of art,” Freeholder Jim Lavender said.

The Red Bank Battlefield is located along the Delaware River in National Park, 100 Hessian Ave, National Park 08063. The park is open year-long from sunrise to sunset. For more information visit www.gloucestercountynj.gov.
