Savor An Artist's Point Of View At NUMU

LOS GATOS, CA — Have coffee with an artist. San Jose native Charlotte Kruk will share the back story behind her creations at NUMU in Los Gatos Thursday afternoon.

Surrounded by materials and a variety of works from her distinctively colorful studio, Kruk will offer insight into how she develops her unique, distinctive art displays.

Kruk is best known for her wearable sculptures crafted from repurposed food and candy wrappers. She transforms discarded materials from candy wrappers to cookie boxes into fine art. In this exhibition, visitors will see examples of her vibrant and colorful wearable sculptures and playful ceramics. Kruk’s work is a response to environmental, cultural and personal experiences.

Those who want to attend the event scheduled for 2 p.m. are asked to RSVP.

Kruk is the featured artist in the museum's "In the Artist's Studio" exhibition series that supports the museum’s mission to share stories in new ways. Through this program, NUMU offers insight into the practice of art making and shares the ingenuity, intelligence and empathy that goes into the creative process.

As an added bonus to visiting the museum with flair located in downtown Los Gatos on Main Street, NUMU has set up jars that request responses from attendees to the San Jose high school art teacher's exhibit.
