  • It isn't difficult to find great art in New Jersey. Galleries are popping up all over the place, and even the common coffee shop has started promoting local artists.

Tucked away in a warehouse cache on Brighton Ave. in Passaic is The Red Door Gallery.

  • Matt Hand is the eye behind Right Hand Photography, a hobbyist business that he approaches with an organic, earth-friendly mindset. Do not be fooled into thinking he’s only photographing his adorable children! Matt is very aware of his art and takes composition into consideration.
