Sylvette de Aldrey Krause, originally from San Juan, Puerto Rico, and Jessie Krause, from Princeton — mother and daughter, respectively — are showing their paintings together at Tipple & Rose, 210 Nassau Street. A reception is this Thursday, April 17, from 4:30-6:30 p.m.
Sylvette began showing her work in Princeton in the mid-1960s with shows at the Nassau Club, Gallery 100, the Present Day Club, and other venues around the country. She studied painting at the Whitney School of Art and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid, Spain. Sylvette’s artwork was influenced by her Spanish heritage, using oils and pastels to create textures, strong lines, and rich earthen colors.
“GYPSY”: This pencil and oil on pastel on paper work by Sylvette de Aldrey Krause is on view in an exhibit also featuring paintings by her daughter, Jessie Krause, at Tipple & Rose. A reception is this Thursday, April 17, from 4:30-6:30 p.m.
Jessie studied art at Smith College and NYU. She used her painting skills to forge a career in scenic painting and design in New York City, eventually moving to Bucks County, Pa., where she opened Netherfield Gallery featuring her own paintings and those of other artists including her mother’s. Jessie now has a painting studio at the Princeton Makes artist cooperative in the Princeton Shopping Center. Her greeting cards sell throughout the East Coast, and can be found at Tipple & Rose, Labyrinth books, and Princeton Makes.
