HELLO

​

My name is Jill, and I'm an artist living a messy, creative life near the forest.

 

In my youth, backpacking taught me something about the complexity of the world, and the surprising kindness of humans.  This is what informs my work - I try to convey something of the hope and joy that is out there.

​

It seems to me that we can't do much about the big issues in the world, but we do each have a small sphere of influence.  I try to make my own sphere a little brighter by bringing attention to the beauty of daily life.

​

I work from a little mossy log cabin studio in my garden, where I earn my living by  preparing art lessons, and by making art pieces for sale in my Etsy shop.

 

I also make other pieces in clay, paint or fabric just for the love of it, and exhibit these. Right now, I am working on my fifth solo exhibition.
