“Starbreaker,” by Gabriel Diaz.

Next week, eight-year-old Lyndhurst resident Gabriel Diaz will become the first elementary-school-aged student to have his very own exhibit at the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission’s Flyway Gallery.

Diaz will introduce area residents to his artistic talents during the multi-media, wildlife-themed show, “The Wonders of the Universe.”

The show runs from Wednesday, Dec. 10, through Friday, Jan. 23. A reception is scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 16, from 3 to 5 p.m.

Some of Gabriel’s work measures as large as 5 feet high by 4½ feet wide.
