Jill is an award winning, mixed media artist creating colorful images layered with pattern, texture and personal symbols. Her abstracted visions of internal worlds take the viewer on a journey into realms of expression, imagination and whimsy.
“Art is a place to be lost and found. It is the telling of tales, the revelation of secrets we hold beneath our skin.” Jill believes in continuous discovery through artistic experimentation and exploration of the creative process.
She participates in juried and solo exhibitions in Southern California. She is also a certified creativity coach, writer and instructor, actively involved in the regional arts community.
