His artwork is featured in the U.S. Senate building, and he once worked as an art therapist and consultant at Temple University.' Cape May County Herald, 17 August 1983 (From Page 19> philosophy that ‘‘If you can conceive it, it can be.” This is one of the mutual agreements he sees between artists and scientists, who have a "common point.” Both delve into "what COULDbe.”"It came from seeing it and loving what I saw," he said, explaining that his artistic inspiration came not just from imagination. Rather than making his paintings exact duplicates of what he sees, they sometimes are interpretations of what he feels. He said he was taught not to capture a scene as a photograph would, but rather as an artist would, showing movement, constant change. To recall images, he developed "visual sponges.” "IT ORIGINATED right down here in Cape May," said Hergelroth of his Cosmos Series, which is an example of his interpretational style. He began to wonder just how and where things started. Since he couldn’t see the origin, he had to imagine it. This resulted in the Cosmos art, a series of paintings which show what could be beyond our vision in space, including black holes andwhite holes.Hergelroth’s artwork is noted for the movement it shows, especially the flow of water. His home in Maine, which is a seven-minute walk from the beach, provides an excellent opportunity to study the movement of the ocean. “It’s basically a studio that I live in,” said Hergelroth of the studio/home he and two carpenters build in Cape Neddick. His love for Maine stems from the summers he spent there as a young man. The summer after he graduated from high school, he drove a family’s second car from Philadelphia. In subsequent years, he “finagled ways to become a driver." Hergelroth’s affection for Cape Neddick is matched by his affection for Cape May. When he moved to Cape May, people “endeared themselves immediately,” he explained. Despite living in Maine, he continues to patronize a mechanic in Cape May, making for some rather long-distance service calls. Most especially, he appreciates the openness, the proximity to the sea and the people of his newest home state. “I, frankly, like to get out of the city," he said. While Maine provides an excellent setting for studying water’s changing patterns, Hergelroth studied water long before he moved there. When he was younger, he used to lower himself at the end of a rope to depths of 20 to 25 feet. There he explored the bottoms of bodies of water. These experiences are now reflected in his underwater paintings, which have a somewhat eerie quality about them.ON THE COVER: Ned Hergelroth stands with one of his paintings which was inspired by the Cape May shore. Photos by Nancie Weihel.The use of bright colors, the scenes are somehow subdued. IN ADDITION to water, Hergelroth paints scenes which reflect his "basic love of natural things that change.” And change is certainly what Hergelroth has gone through. His lifestyle, his financial status and his state of mind have changed. Both Ned and Kathryne receive Social Security, and Ned augments their income with workshops, lectures, critiques and the sale of his artwork. He admits he is not making a living like the one he made while a teacher, but he is comfortable with himself and doesn’t feel pressured anymore. “I’ve never been happier," he said with utter contentment.
