Open Studio Weekend for Artist Jill Krutick

Abstract artist Jill Krutick will host an open studio weekend at her home at 32 Tisdale Road in Scarsdale on May 10, 11 and 12 from 4pm to 7 pm daily. A former investment analyst and media executive, Krutick has transitioned into the art world and is now focused on creating value on the canvas rather than in the portfolio.

Influenced by her love of art masters both old and new, such as Van Gogh, Monet and Gerhardt Richter, Ms. Krutick produces work that is both abstract and imaginative. "An exploration of my works should reveal as much about a viewer's emotional state as it does mine. The oil painting may be abstract or it may be representational, but what makes the painting come to life is the interplay of light, colors, textures, shapes and spaces," Ms. Krutick suggests.

Since turning her full time attention to art, Ms. Krutick has had numerous solo and group art shows. Recently, Ms. Krutick was selected to exhibit her works at a gallery housed in the SOHO-based offices of Splashlight, a leading producer of fashion photography and e-commerce content. Among Splashlight's top clients are ALDO, Ann Taylor + LOFT, Bloomingdales, Jockey, Macy's and Nordstrom. Splashlight's North Hall Gallery has presented many award winning artists and photographers, such as Peter Ruprecht, Storm Thorgerson and Eric Demarchelier. She was chosen by Artsicle, a leading online art website that encourages emerging artists, as a "Trending Artist" -- based on the number of artworks users have "favorited". In addition, she was selected by the offices of Partner's International and A.T. Kearney -- two well-recognized consulting firms -- to have several of her works in residence.

Krutick's exhibition at her studio located at 32 Tisdale Road will include dozens of her paintings. To attend, please R.S.V.P. by phone at 914-522-042-, by email at jillkrutick1@gmail.com and visit her site at www.jskartstudio.com to learn more.
