Jill works in oils, painting in response to the world around her.

Her influences are many and varied, she began by falling in love with the Impressionists, and in her work, tries to capture light and beauty, there is often a narrative there.

Originally from Merseyside, she studied Fine Art at Falmouth College of Arts. During her degree, she spent three months at the Accademia di Belli Arti in Venice. Afterwards, she travelled in Central and southern America taking her paints with her.

Jill walks the coast paths in Cornwall and the moors in Devon, sketching and painting, recording the lie of the land and slightly obsessed by the sky and the sea.

A love of story is always there.

She has worked as a full time painter since 2008, and continues to be fascinated by colour, texture, and the next canvas.
