J. Rutland was born and raised in a family of storytellers in the deep South states of Alabama and North Carolina. His full name is Jarrett Rutland, but he dropped the Jarrett for his pen name to honor all Rutland mentors.
A variety of painterly techniques as well as digital art can be seen on his website.
Rutland attended art school at Maryland Institute, College of Art in Baltimore, and a few years later moved to New York City. After a few breaks he was able to move back to his beloved homeland of the South. He has since started a company called A.L.I.V.E., which creates art programs for places that may not have or be able to afford one.
Please come by the shop this month and take a look at some of his most recent work. You might find a piece you’d love in your space or to give as a gift in the upcoming holidays. The show features prices from $12 for smaller framed prints, up to $350 for larger, framed original pieces, so there is something in everyone’s price range.
