"I attended a ten week painting workshop at ReFind - a store/workshop studio/ community hob in Bay Head. To tell you what made for my great experience I have to first tell you all, what an enchanting place ReFind is. From the outside it appears as an unassuming store front tucked on a side street that you might miss if you didn’t know any better. But step through the front door and you will find a treasure trove of art and unique crafts, many made by local artisans, as well as objects both aesthetically pleasing and useful that have been salvaged and lovingly given a second life by Zsa Zsa, the proprietor of ReFind. Every nook and cranny from floor to ceiling is a tableau of beautiful things; jewelry, paintings and unexpected finds. It is like stepping back in time before a culture of shoddy obsolescence became our norm. 

Much like her store Zsa Zsa, the proprietor, is many things – part entrepreneur/artist/ community organizer and from what I saw while I painted there, she is also a source of advise to artists, friends and perhaps even to a stranger like myself who wandered through her door. Even though I had painted years ago I had not used oils and over the years have been mostly involved with digital work. When I walked into ReFind and had spoken to Zsa Zsa I felt that painting in her studio would be an opportunity to get back to basics, away from computers. It turned out to be just what I needed and with Zsa Zsa’s help I managed to enjoy this new medium and create some art that for a beginner with oils was not too shabby. 
Thank you Zsa Zsa"
