ABOUT
Jil Crary-Ross (b. 1989, California) is a New York City-based painter. Crary-Ross uses figurative painting, portraiture, and material study to investigate concepts of contemporary folklore; exploring how land and the built environment shape iterations of the self. In 2013, Jil received a BA in City Planning and Conflict Studies from the NYU Gallatin School of Individualized Study. Interdisciplinary research remains central to her work. In addition to painting, Jil self-publishes zines and artist books and makes three-dimensional objects out of paper pulp and concrete that she calls ‘object paintings.’ Jil was a 2022 fellow at the Helene Wurlitzer Foundation (Taos, NM) and is currently included in the White Columns Curated Artist Registry. <3
