Jill was an Ipswich Art & Design student in 1980, graduating in interior design in 1984, thereafter she embarked into the commercial world of architecture and interior design.
It wasn’t until her time in Australia, that her talents as a designer moved to that of an artist, exhibiting in various shows and galleries in Melbourne. Upon her return to England she settled back into interior design and discovered a new medium to excite her as an artist, Plaster and Paint.
Her technique is a contemporary use of plaster, similar to pargetting of old, creating a highly textured finish. Her inspiration comes from the medium she works with, its scope, it’s unpredictably and its texture, exploring all types of subject matter from landscapes, figurative to abstract.
More recently she has extended her exploration of plaster into different kinds, including cement, creating sculptures and objects.
Since 2003 she has successfully exhibited her work in various shows and galleries in Suffolk and Essex, becoming a gallery artist in Buckenham Galleries Southwold and Brett Gallery Monks Eleigh and a regular at the annual Polstead Exhibition.
