About the Juror:
Artist Cathleen Engelsen is an Ocean County native with a deep appreciation of New Jersey’s rich, historical background and its breath-taking coastal scenery. She studied art at the Samuel Fleischer Art Memorial in Philadelphia and at the Philadelphia College of Art. She has also studied at Stockton State College. She paints all media – watercolor, acrylic, and oil.

Cathleen is particularly noted throughout the state for her historical paintings. Each project reflects detailed research into the state’s past. Her sources include historical societies, libraries, and a treasury of rare old photographs. Lengthy personal interview with local residents add to her background.

Cathleen has preserved historical New Jersey scenes from northern New Jersey to the coastal shores, and to the western tip in Trenton.
