Smith Studio and Gallery
The Smith Studio and Gallery is sponsoring a solo exhibition of the creative prints of Jill Kramer, from Oak Park, Illinois. Jill received her MA in Art Education from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and her BFA in printmaking from Kent State University. She has been teaching for over 20 years in museum, school & community art settings and has facilitated programs for preschoolers to senior citizens.
A recent trip out West led Jill in a new direction with her artwork. Bike riding and drawing her way through different landscapes, Jill visited many National Parks in Utah and Nevada. Jill’s creative landscapes became more horizontal …more expansive. Her color palette became earth toned demonstrating her appreciation of the layered structure of the American West. Back home her images were cut into linoleum and printed in black oil-based ink. Each image was then meticulously hand painted in vibrant watercolor.
THIS EXHIBITION WILL BE UP THRU July 31st.
Hours at the Smith Studio and Gallery are Tuesday through Saturday 10:00-5:00.
Closed on Sunday and Monday.
