August 10, 2011 THE VILLADOM TIMES I • Page 17 Wyckoff Wanderings Art exhibit by DiMuro, Jennings Dana DiMuro and Katherine Jennings are the featured artists of the month at the Wyckoff Family YMCA, 691 Wyckoff Avenue, Wyckoff. DiMuro studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology and the School of Visual Arts. She has worked as a freelance art director for the past 20 years, designing catalogs and advertisements. Most recently, her love for painting and drawing has brought her back to the studio, where she has been exploring portraits and still lifes in oil, while continuing to draw the human figure. She is greatly influenced by the light, color, and brushwork of the impressionists; and the depth, luminosity, and draftsmanship of the old masters and academic artists. Affiliated with several art associations, including Studio Montclair and The Visual Arts Center, she has exhibited in various locations. Jennings has studied art in numerous cities including Florence, London, New York, and New Orleans. She has traveled extensively throughout Europe and the U.S., and her love of travel is reflected in her paintings. Spending considerable time in New Orleans each year, her work has been featured in a Garden District gallery for local artists. A member of various art associations, including the Ridgewood Art Institute and Studio Montclair, she cur- rently studies at the Montclair Museum of Art. She has received several awards, including second place in the Caldwell Art Association’s Art on the Avenue and an Honorable Mention in the 2011 Saint Catherine of Bologna Art Exhibition. As an attorney licensed in both New York and New Jersey, she has practiced intellectual property law and is a certified art law mediator with Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts in NYC. The exhibit will be open to the public through Aug. 18 during regular operating hours. All work is for sale with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the Wyckoff Family Y.
