Cover Artist Jill Estroff

Inside Arden November 2021

This artwork by Jill Estroff is featured in the Art Fur Paws online auction to benefit the Sacramento SPCA. Estroff, who lives in Curtis Park, worked as marketing director for the Crocker Art Museum from 1986 to 1993. She strives to capture the essence of a scene in a loose, abstract style, and admires the vivid color and bold brushwork of expressionist painters. “Although I do take many photographs each day for inspiration, they’re just a starting point for my paintings,” she says. Shown: “Water Bugs,” 20 inches by 20 inches, acrylic, valued at $1,800. Art Fur Paws will be held Nov. 18 to Dec. 2 at witherells.com. Visit jillestroff.com and sspca.org/online-benefit-auction.
