Nancy J. Ori, a well-known local photographer and educator from our area, is exhibiting a photographic tour of Union County history.
Nancy Ori's exhibit, the "Four Centuries Story," is hosted by the Friends of New Providence Memorial Library and is currently on view through October 14, 2026. A public reception will follow Nancy's lecture on Tuesday, October 6, at 7:15pm.
Nancy spent months researching and photographing the numerous exteriors and interiors of 40 local historical sites for this exhibit, depicting the lives of the people who lived throughout the County from the Revolutionary War to the present. The body of work provides a balance of images between the architecture, furniture, costumes and artifacts of by-gone eras to reflect those who lived, worked and played in Union County at earlier times.
Popular locations such as Liberty Hall in Union, the Trailside Nature Museum in Mountainside and the Drake House Museum in Plainfield, as well as the smaller historical sites of the Eaton Store Museum in Hillside and the Carter House in Summit are only a few of the locations featured in Ori’s photographs.
Nancy is the owner of New Jersey Media Center, LLC in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey where she continues to do product, portrait, and food photography. She also enjoys teaching photography globally as well as exhibiting her fine art photographs. Nancy was taught by Ansel Adams and then affiliated for many years as a teaching assistant with the Ansel Adams Workshop in California. She is currently on the faculty of several museums and teaches privately. Visit her website at https://www.nancyorifineart.com/
