Amber Fort : Oils on Masonite Board 3’x6’
Jill Karlin’s use of color weaves a contrasting tapestry of warm and cool, exciting and calming shades. Her works allow us to traverse a rich spectrum of emotions simultaneously, just as a pond is warm on the surface, yet cool in the depths.
Her paintings are alive with an innocent, childlike quality, which somehow breathes the mystery, adventure and romance of the Indian spirit. Her lines move as her figures move to tell the everyday story of Indian culture, which we see yet never really notice. This you will see for yourself.”
