There is life after Wall Street. Jill S. Krutick, a top ranked investment
analyst and media executive, has transitioned to a world that has no boundaries
– Art.
Ms. Krutick, 50, a Roslyn, New York native has reinvented herself, and
has become a rising star in the world of art.
Having built her first career as an investment analyst
studying and advising entertainment and leisure companies, while raising two
children, Ms. Krutick is now focused on creating value on the canvas.
Influenced by a love of art masters both old and new, -
Van Gogh, Monet and Gerhardt Richter, Ms. Krutick has developed an oeuvre of 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.
An exhibition of Ms. Krutick’s work will be available at
her studio located at 32 Tisdale
Road, Scarsdale, New York during the weekend of May 10
th.
Dozens of art works will be on view.
