Last night's artists reception at Ron Terner's Focal Point Gallery was a buzz with City Island Royalty. Among the many pieces featured in this month's installation are works produced by Lauren Chernin, the wife of City Island's most powerful and influential businessman, SAMMY, who attended the successful Friday night event.
However, for Terner, the most important people in his life are featured in this photo. They are his mom, daughter, and son. His wife Susan was under the weather and did not attend this jammed packed monthly reception. From right to left Ron, his mom Alice, son Rajeev, and youngest child, his daughter Ruby.
Focal Point Gallery is conveniently located at 321 City Island avenue and is open 7 days a week. 718 885 1403 http://www.photographybyronterner.com/
