Ahni Kruger is a painter/printmaker whose richly detailed images form a provocative blend of conceptual and perceptual approaches.  Her practice of addressing formal visual challenges on location in the landscape informs her studio work. Ahni dips into Nature as source or muse—but not dictator—to fortify her allegories about global consciousness and political misadventure. 

An adjunct professor of printmaking at both Drew University in Madison, NJ, and Montclair State University in Montclair, NJ, Ahni holds a BFA from Cornell University, and an MFA in studio art from MSU, where she was recognized with an award for excellence in painting.  She has been the recipient of an NJSCA fellowship and grants from the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation and the Vermont Studio Center.  Her work is in many private and corporate collections, including Johnson & Johnson, Schlumberger, Skandia, and Alliance Capital. She showed in NYC at the Prince Street Gallery from 1995-2003.  Since 2007, her work was exhibited at the Shore Institute of Contemporary Arts in Long Branch, NJ; White Box Annex in NYC; the MFA Exhibition at Hunter College, NYC, P.P.O.W., Gitana Rosa Gallery, and The Painting Center in NYC. Her most recent solo exhibitions were at Drew University’s Korn Gallery in February 2009, Princeton University in the summer of 2009, and at the Nassau Club in Princeton, NJ in September of 2010. She is represented by Riverbank Arts in Stockton, NJ, Rabbet Gallery in New Brunswick, NJ and Islesford Artists Gallery in Islesford, ME. Opening soon with some of her work is Guerilla Gallery's Inaugural Exhibition at STAGE in Newark, NJ.  Her studio is in Pottersville, NJ.
