A Fremantle artist, temporarily living in Brisbane. Born and raised in Perth Western Australia. Jill's passion for painting began at a very early age and whose abilities met with reward time and again throughout her school years being awarded Dux at two separate art institutions. Although events such as personal tragedy, raising a family, living as a volunteer worker interstate and overseas have punctuated Jill's life all such experiences have enriched her in one way or another allowing a deeper expression to manifest itself in her art.
Her love of watercolour has allowed a basis for creativity to develop and along with her appreciation for the Australian landscape and it's unique hues Jill's fascination with form and texture of both the animate and inanimate and the ever changing outcome colour and light can have on those elements continually inspires her.
It is Jill's hope and desire that her paintings are loved by others to the same degree as the enjoyment she derives from the creative journey on which each artwork takes her.

Have been with gallery247 for 6 years, both free and now paid. Wonderful on line platform for artists which has made my work easy to find and i don't need to worry about setting up my own website; they even forwarded a message from a community college i volunteered for a few years ago, for an art tutor.

I have recently become a member of Gallery 247 as an artist, and am so impressed. Communication was quick and very personable. The website seems very user friendly. With the couple of questions I emailed I was looked after with a phone call and very kindly and professionally looked after. Highly recommend.
