The works of Long Island artist Jill Amorosano will be on view April 14 – June 15, 2009 at Apple Bank, 91 Route 111, Smithtown. The exhibition, part of Smithtown Township Arts Council’s Outreach Gallery Program, can be viewed during regular bank hours.
Jill Amorosano has won awards at the Long Island Fair for the last two years, and has had the great opportunity to exhibit her artwork at many New York venues. Her artwork exemplifies the use of bold color and encompasses impressionism, surrealism, and folk art. Her favorite medium to paint in is oil, but she does not confine herself to this medium alone. “Art is experimentation in every direction and there should never be any boundaries to it…The uniqueness and beauty of art is that you can take it in the direction you wish”.
She is not only a dedicated artist, but an educator as well. Some art classes that she has taught include 20th Century Masters, Cartooning, Art Rocks, Plein Air, and Ukrainian Egg Workshops. She holds a Bachelors Degree in History and Education and a Masters Degree in Liberal Arts. Ms. Amorosano volunteers art for local schools, churches and hospitals. She is currently accepting commissioned work.
