THE DAN SEKELLICK VISUAL ARTS GALLERY
From April 5 to 26, the Gallery will be presenting “Resume”: A Work in Progress, an impressionistic solo art exhibition by fine artist and small business owner Ashley Kitto.
You’ve never seen paintings like these before. Somewhat inspired by Jackson Pollock, most of the materials are reused, found or recycled—showing movement, emotion and thought through color and texture in an impressionistic style.
Ashley Kitto is a small business owner, fine artist and mother to two wonderfully caring, imaginative boys and her best furry friend Abby. She is a graduate of Savannah College of Art and Design, where she studied animation. She has been painting since high school and loves exploring new ways to hone in on her creativity—whether that’s through painting pet portraits for PETS by AKD, writing greeting cards for Ashley Kitto Designs or reusing old art, found objects and frames to make something new.
She loves being outside (in the warm weather at least) and finds inspiration through nature—especially the ocean, flowers and bees. Ashley enjoys working with kids and is employed as a middle school monitor through the Shenendehowa Central School District, where the kids keep her on her toes daily.
The Gallery tends to be open between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. weekdays. You may call us at 518-674-2007 or email us to confirm (or make a special appointment).
Join us for an artist reception on April 12 from 2 to 4 p.m.
